Counting duty as assisstant under a person with much lower pay scale

Sir :

I was assigned a duty to conduct parliament election polling held on 30/4 in 15, Gwalior. I conducted the duty.

Again I was assigned the duty of counting to be held on 16/5 at Gwalior. I accepted the same and also conducted the duty. My request to you is that on what criterion I was chosen to work under a person Mr. Manoj Kumar Gupta, Section Officer, AGMP, Gwalior working in a scale of Rs.6500-10500 (Pre-revised) who was assigned the duty of COUNTING SUPERVISOR, while I am working as Senior Lecturer in Jiwaji University, Gwalior in a scale of Rs.10000-15500 with basic of Rs. 12, 600/- was assigned the duty of COUNTING ASSISSTANT to him. It is simply frustrating to work under a person with much lower grade. I tried to request the local authorities but no positive response and hence I have to work under a section officer.

One more thing to note that I am although quite senior in the university and many of my juniors were neither assigned any duty in polling nor in counting. I was the ONLY PERSON FROM JIWAJI UNIVERSITY selected for counting that to as assistant.

I hope that proper instructions must be issued to the local authorities to take proper care before putting the person for duty.
