Instead of issuing orders the State Government authorities, vide Govt. Order No. 76-GAD of 2012 dated 16.11.2012 constituted the Pay Anomaly Committee just to delay the things. The Pay Anomaly Committee submitted its report regarding the pay anomalies of Clerical Cadre, Home Department and Revenue Department and the Government accepted and implemented the recommendations of Pay Anomaly Committee in favour of Revenue and Home Departments, ignoring the Clerical Cadre. Now again the State Government vide Govt. Order No. 420-GAD of 2016 dated 21.01.2016 constituted another Pay Anomaly Committee which is a another attempt to befool the Clerical Cadre.
Even the State Government failed to implement the directions given by the Hon'ble High Court regarding removal of pay anomaly till date.
