Delhi HC seeks Central Sanskrit University's response over re-designation of librarians
Hindustan TimesThe Delhi High Court has sought the responses of the Central Sanskrit University, formerly known as Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan, and others on a plea filed by a group of Assistant Librarians. The petitioners, who were appointed as Assistant Librarians in 2009 and 2011, have challenged the re-designation of their positions and the subsequent denial of rightful pay scales and professional status. The petitioners claimed that they had fulfilled all required educational and professional qualifications and that in 2018, their posts were unjustly changed from "Assistant Librarians" to "Professional Assistants" under the university's revised bye-laws. They seek the restoration of their status as "Assistant Librarians " under UGC norms at Pay Level 10, along with all consequential benefits, including arrears from the date of their eligibility.
