matters, held that the issue of entitlement of the persons working
as Pump Driver II/Fitter for pay scale of Rs. 1400-2600 (5000-

in view of the earlier judgment of this Court in several writ
petitions and the respondents were directed to treat the judgment
in S.B. Civil Writs No.9866/2018, Ramji Lal Saini & Ors. Vs.
State of Rajasthan & Ors. and other connected matters as
judgment-in-rem and to extend the benefit to all the similar
