Default stuck in file permissions

Hi
I m new in linux and have a basic query. Hope i ll get my answer here.

I have made a file /depts/hr/ in root's home directory. Now changed its group ownership from 'root' to 'hr'. Also changed the file permissions of /depts/hr to 770.

Now I want to access this file with ls from a user 'atul' who is also a member of 'hr' group. But when i do this i m getting error- permissioned denied.

Isn't it correct that with above given permissions members of group can access the file? Then why atul is not able to?

Pls guide me.
