ORDER

K. Venkataswami, J.-The appellant approached the Central Administrative Tribunal for the relief that he is entitled to the pay-scale of Lecturer in Commercial Arts though he was appointed to the post of Studio Artist . In addition to that he claimed the difference in the salary from the year 1971. He approached the Tribunal for this relief in May, 1989. The Tribunal accepted the claim of the appellant that he should be paid the salary of Lecturer in Commercial Arts though he was appointed to the post of Studio Artist in view of the fact that he was performing the duties of Lecturer in Commercial Arts. However, the Tribunal granted the relief of difference in backwages from May, 1988 only on the ground that under Section 21 of the Administrative Tribunals Act the period of one year is prescribed for redressal of grievances. Against the decision of the Tribunal that the appellant is entitled to be paid the salary of Lecturer in Commercial Arts though he was appointed as Studio Artist the respondents have not filed any appeal. The appellant has preferred this appeal claiming the difference in backwages from the date of his posting as Lecturer in Commercial Arts.
