fixing the pay in the master pay scale are not applicable to his case.
iii) A copy of noting indulged in by the administration of the
Institute in regard to communications dt.15.12.04, 19.1.05, 30.8.05
and 15.11.06.

additional information was provided by him on 19.2.09. Not satisfied

information was provided on 15.2.09 and that the delay was due to
the time taken to gather information from the Administration Section.
In the light of this observation, the Commission condones the delay in
furnishing the information.
