Teletalk with Chief(Legal)

A few questions on Tele Talk with Chief (legal),CO

Referring to the useful report of Mr R B Kishore coming at a time of apparent information vacuum, I feel some enlightenment is required on the following points:

• Chief (Legal) has informed that 20% out of the amount deposited earlier in Rajasthan HC will be paid to them.

Will the amount be paid only to the Jaipur petitioners or will the proposal be extended to Chandigarh petitioners  also?

• Where do the Delhi HC petitioners stand where no payment has been deposited by LIC  in the HC Registry and where  significantly in rem benefits have been ordered by the HC  to be paid by LIC?

• As regards the SLPs by UOI, the SC have ordered,"S.L.P.(C) No.....CC Nos.5437-5440/2015 Issue notice on the applications for condonation of delay, as also on the special leave petitions" So even though there is a near certainty that leave may be granted, Chief(Legal) was technically not  correct in  stating that SLP has been admitted. Whether leave is granted will be known only on 23/9/2015.So awaiting final outcome is irrelevant  to compliance with the interim order of SC.

Unless clarifications are available on the above points, we cannot be clear about the thinking of the legal dept  on LIC's  compliance with the SC's interim order dt 7/5/2015.

Greetings.
