(3.) HAVING heard the learned counsel for the parties, I am satisfied that this matter is squarely covered by the decision rendered by the Court in the Case of Rajasthan University and College Physical Education Teachers' Association & Another vs. The State of Rajasthan Learned counsel for the respondents raised only grievance that as per the criteria laid down by the U. G. C. these upgraded Pay Scales are made available to those librarians who have to their credit the degrees in second class. As all the petitioners are having a degree in IIIrd class therefore, they are not entitled for this upgraded U. G. C. Pay- scale.
