The grievance expressed by him, is that though the fourth respondent joined the services subsequent to the petitioner, on 9.5.1977, he also got his promotion on 16.10.1988, and has been conferred with the benefit of one more increment, which resulted in the higher pay to the junior of the petitioner, and in this regard, the petitioner was repeatedly submitting representations to the concerned respondents and since no orders have been passed, came forward to file this writ petition.
