Central Administrative Tribunal or CAT has held that Candidates selected for posts in the Delhi government will be entitled to parity in pay scale fixation even if they join later than their colleagues. <br/><br/>Six applicants, selected as medical officers in 2002, approached the tribunal seeking parity in terms of fixing of pay scale, back wages and pension after they were denied these as they joined late due to some legal hurdles.<br/><br/>The tribunal, comprising Chairman V K Bali and Vice Chairman L K Joshi, said that the applicants would be eligible for appointment to the post of Medical Officer from the date three other persons selected along with them were appointed. <br/><br/>The CAT, however, held that they would not be entitled to back wages. It also ordered that they would be entitled to be placed in the pension scheme, which was applicable in 2003.
