New Delhi, Feb 11 (PTI) Candidates selected for posts in the Delhi government will be entitled to parity in pay scale fixation even if they join later than their colleagues, the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has held.
Six applicants, selected as medical officers in 2002, approached the tribunal seeking parity in terms of fixing of pay scale, back wages and pension after they were denied these as they joined late due to some legal hurdles.
"The applicants would be eligible for appointment to the post of Medical Officer (Ayurvedic) from the date three other persons selected along with them were appointed," the tribunal, comprising Chairman V K Bali and Vice Chairman L K Joshi, said.
The CAT, however, held that they would not be entitled to back wages.
It also ordered the Delhi government to place them under the pension scheme of 1972.
