It is averred by the petitioner that the Head Constables were not prepared to go to Kutch and, therefore, the grade of Police Head Constables at Kutch was higher by Rs. 5/- than the grade at other places. The petitioner opted for Kutch only to get Rs. 5 more in his pay-scale. However, for the reasons best known to the Police Department he was not granted that grade.
