4. There is no dispute with regard to the fact that the petitioner/applicant joined duty on 01.04.1993 and the monetary benefits consequent to Revised Pay Scales, 1993 were also to be given from 01.04.1993. Accordingly, the applicant, who was in the Basic Pay of Rs.950/- in the earlier pay scale, 1986, was put at Rs.1,535/- in the Revised Pay Scale, 1993. It is the contention of the applicant that at the time of implementation of Revised Pay Scales, 1993, he was drawing Rs.1,839/- in the old pay scale and hence his new Basic Pay should have been fixed at Rs.1,839/- and not at Rs.1,535/-. But the 1st respondent has fixed his pay at Rs.1,535/- instead of Rs.1,839/-. It is the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that some persons viz., N.K. Krishnudu, B. Eswaraiah and P. Sudhakar who were appointed as Forest Guards on 01.04.1993 along with the petitioner in the Time Scale of Rs.950-1670; and whose pay was initially fixed at Rs.1,535/- + Rs.304 PP in the Revised Pay Scales, 1993, and the said personal pay was absorbed in the annual increments, but later, on appeal, their pay was modified by the Divisional Forest Officer, Kurnool vide proceedings in Rc.No.1119/2003/H4 dated 27.02.2004 and the increments and the DA were sanctioned separately without touching the personal pay of Rs.304/- and it was absorbed only in Revised Pay Scales, 1999, whereas in the case of petitioner, it was absorbed from 01.04.1993 itself, thereby the petitioner suffered loss of personal pay from 1993 to 1999 along with one increment in Revised Pay Scales, 1999.
