3. The contention of the petitioners is that the pay fixed under the Revised Pay Rules was lower than the salary payable to a direct recruit appointed as a Constable on or after 01.01.2006 fixed under Rule 7(1)(A)(ii) at the minimum of Revised Pay Band/ Pay Scale as per Section II of Part B of the First Schedule of 2008 Rules.

4. This position or rather anomaly it is accepted is correct by the respondent, who submit that the petitioners’ cannot claim parity with the direct recruits and the pay scale
