Thereafter, the petitioner was selected for the Rajasthan Administrative Services where he joined duty on 20.12.1999. 4. The provisions of Rule 5(IX) of the Rajasthan Voluntary Rural Education Service Rules, 2010 (hereinafter to be referred to as 'the Rules of 2010') speaks that the Rajasthan Civil Services (Pension) Rules 1996, shall not be applicable to such candidates. 5. The learned counsel for the petitioner is not able to show that under which provision the services rendered under an Aided Institution, can be counted for the purpose of grant of ACP and pay fixation under the revised pay scale Rules of 2008 & 2013. 6. As per the provision of law, only the services rendered under the State Government and certain undertakings can only be counted for the purpose of fixation of pay and other benefits as per Rajasthan Service Rules. There is no provision for counting the services rendered under the Aided Institution for fixation of pay of a government servant. Hence, the Court finds no merit in the writ petition. 7.
