Heard Sri M.V. Durga Prasad, learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Higher Education.

It has been contended by the learned Counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is working as a lecturer in Economics in the 4th respondent-college since 1982 and the post held by the petitioner was admitted into grant-in-aid, and as per UGC guidelines as well as the rules issued by the State Government, the petitioner is entitled to be considered for Selection Grade and Reader's Designation under Career Advancement Scheme, but the
