Yo have to first confirm that on what basis the audit has raised this objection or made this observation.

Also you should wait for the reply to be given by the department concerned to this observation made by the audit team.

If the observation of the audit team is contrary to the provisions of law and if the management is taking any adverse action urgently to clear the audit observation/objection, you may represent the case before the competent authority through proper channel and seek remedy and relief to this.

If the authority is also not favoring you then you may approach appropriate legal forum seeking its intervention and render justice to you as per the prevailing law in this regard.

have been promoted as superintending engineer in 2014 but A G audit has observed that DEC was not conducted by management, I have promoted based on Board decision .They have noted that procedure followed is not in order, hence promotion made be reverted and excess amount paid to be collected.what is the legal remedy forme.

The audit team cannot interfere in the policy making decision, especially towards the promotion policy if the organisation has scrupulously followed the rules in this regard.

But if the department is not ready to listen to your plea or apathy then you may contemplate for initiating legal action against this adverse decision of the management, if it has hurriedly decided to initiate recovery action.
