Although he was appointed in the DAD as clerk in the pay scale of Rs.3050- 75- 3950- 80-4590 still his pay was erroneously fixed in the pay scale of Rs.4500-125-7000 (granting him financial up gradation in the hierarchy of post in the DAD ie., pay scale applicable to Auditor) instead of granting him pay protection in the pay scale applicable to the post of clerk in the DAD ie 3050- 75-3950- 80-4590 . This pay fixation is not as per rules/
orders.
