Subject: Request for timely resolution of applicant’s grievance regarding confirmation at ICAI

Honorable Sir(s)/Madam(s),

Please refer to applicant's various earlier communications on above captioned subject that requires your immediate action.

In this regard, the aggrieved applicant wishes to bring to your kind notice that in spite of these communications and followups, the office is not only delaying the justice, but also has altogether denied it by offering a much lower post of Section Officer, though this time in written, to the applicant against that of the post of Executive officer as offered to him vide his offer of engagement, after completion of probation period.

Therefore, the aggrieved applicant deems it fit to bring this injustice to the knowledge of your good office, if not aware already, and pray your honorable office(s) to ensure earliest justice to the aggrieved.
