D.S. Nakara & Others vs Union Of India on 17 December, 1982
9. Though at the hearing of the writ petitions learned counsel for the
petitioners and respondents once again cited the decisions reported as 1997
(5) SLR 106 P.S.Ramamohana Rao Vs. A.P. Agricultural University & Anr.
(2004) 6 SCC 685 State of Karnataka Vs. C.K.Pattamashetty & Anr., (2009)
13 SCC 635 State of M.P. Vs. Ramesh Chandra Bajpai, (1983) 1 SCC 305
D.S.Nakara & Ors. Vs. UOI & Ors. and (2011) 5 SCC 305 State of U.P. &
Ors. Vs. Hirendra Pal Singh, to support their rival stands concerning
whether librarians and DPEs were required to be treated as teachers and
made a reference to the same letters, circulars and office orders and the
statute of the university, we are not noting said contentions for the reasons
as regards the petitioner they are a repeat of what was argued when W.P.(C)
No.7130/2011 and W.P.(C) No.7939/2011 were decided by the Division
Bench on May 18, 2011 and so is the case with the arguments of the
respondents. As noted above by us, the contention of the petitioners was
rejected by the Division Bench concerning their claim of the status of
librarians and DPEs being that of teachers, and the stand taken by the
respondents was accepted.
