REGARDS, -------BVS PRASAD Earlier, for the other fina cartoons u sent,I immediately responded with my views & requesting u to embrace this ,as u have a penchant for the same.Keep it up,BVS---RBKishore,VP,AIRIEF5) 1)Following Hon'ble Supreme Court's Decision, Department of Pension orders for Revision Pension of Pre-2006 Pensioners from 01.01.2006 as per revised concordance Table in OM dated 28.01.2013. Consequently, Pre-2006 Pensioners will get revised Pension from 1st January 2006 instead of 24.09.2012.This is the order for which Pre-2006 Pensioners were battling since 2008. On implementation of 6th Pay Commission report, Pension of Pre-2006 Pensioners was revised as per Office Memorandum F.No.38/37/08-P&PW( A) 01.09.2008and F.No.38/37/08-P& PW(A).Pt.1 dated 03.10.2008. As per Concordance Table in these OMs many Pre-revised pay Scales were bunched and fitted into a single 6th CPC Pay Band and pension all Pensioners retired in these pre-revised pay scales were fixed in the minimum of revised 6th CPC Pay band, which caused huge anomaly in Pension of Pre-2006 Pensioners. For instance Pre-revised Pay Scale S-9 (5000-8000) to S-15 (8000-13500) were fitted in to PB-2 (9300-34800). So, a Pensioner who retired at the highest level in S-15 received same pension fixed for a Pensioner whose last drawn pay was at the minimum of pre-revised pay scale S-9.Many of the pensioners filed case against these OMs before Administrative Tribunal and were granted favourable orders. However, Department filed appeals before Hon'ble High Courts.A thread relating to this issue started in 07.10.2008 by Senior Member of GConnect discussion board Mr.V.Natarajan which has more than 1500 replies and 2.40 lakh views as on date, would reveal entire facts of legal recourse right from Central Administrative Tribunal to Apex Court.This is the link of the related GConnect discussion Board thread on this issue:While Pre-2006 Pensioners got favourable Verdict in all Forums, Department filed appeals in the next higher forums which got dismissed subsequently.At last Govt issued Office Memorandum No.38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated 28.1.2013, in which Pension of Pre-2006 Pensioners was revised with effect from 24.09.2012 as per revised concordance table annexed in OM dated 28.01.2013 which was based on fitment table used for Central Government Empolyees inOffice Memorandum No. 1/1/2008-IC dated 30.08.2008.However, the demand of pre-2006 pensioners that they are entitled to revision of Pension as per revised concordance table with effect from 1st January 2006 since 6th CPC was implemented from the said date was not fulfilled in the said order. Hence, Pre-2006 Pensioners persisted with legal recourse which was finally decided in favour of Pensioners by Hon'ble Supreme Court by providing 4 months time for implementation of CAT's decision for all Pre-2006 Pensioners with effect from 1st January 2006.Checkout following link to read entire information on revision of Pension of Pre-2006 PensionersNow, in compliance of Apex Court's decision, Department of Pension and Pensioners' welfare has issued OM dated 30.07.2015 for revision of Pension of Pre-2006 Pensioners as per revised concordance table annexed to OM dated 28.01.2013, with effect from 01.01.2006.2) ATLAST A GREAT, GRAND ,SOLID VICTORY, THANX TO SUPREME ,SUPREME COURT JUDGEMENT,WITH A DEADLINE.WE HAIL DEPT OF PENSION & PENSIONERS' WELFARE , UOI, DECISION & CIRCULAR.WHAT ALL IS STATED THERE LOOKS TO BE A REPLICA OF INSURANCE PENSIONERS KURUKSHETRA LEGAL BATTLE,BEING WAGED FROM 6676/1998 CWP,RAJASTHAN HIGH COURT.

The Apex Court made these observations in the judgment delivered by the Division Bench consisting of Justices Dipak Misra and Abhay Manohar Sapre.The Court delivered its judgment in a Civil Appeal No. 1123 OF 2015 (State of Rajasthan and Ors. vs. Mahendra Nath Sharma) in which two State Governments had denied pension benefits to Lecturers, Librarians and PTIs, who retired prior to 1.1.2006.The State then preferred an appeal before the Supreme Court, wherein the Apex Court also ruled in favour of the respondents. It also said, "It is a well known principle that pension is not a bounty. The benefit is conferred upon an employee for his unblemished career." The Court relied on observations made in D.S. Nakara vs. Union of India and emphasized that the parts reproduced from D.S. Nakara form fundamental concept in service jurisprudence.The Court accordingly ruled in favour of retired persons and gave the states three months to pay back the amount, failing which interest at 9 per cent per annum would be levied on the amount, until the date of realization.5) WHAT AUSPICIOUS, BEFITTING, POINTERS TO IMPENDING FINALS IN SUPREME COURT BENCH ON THAT CRUCIAL DAY OF RECKONING ,WEDNESDAY, 23 SEPTEMBER, 2015 WITH SAME HON JUDGE DIPAK MISRA & ANOTHER,TO ANNEX THE PRINCIPLED TWIN BENEFITS OF FULL DR TO PRE-8/1997 PENSIONERS & PENSION UPGRADATION WTH EVERY WAGE REVISION FOR ALL GROUPS OF PENSIONERS,MARKING A HISTORIC TRIUMPH OF GOOD OVER EVIL, OF BONAFIDE OVER MALAFIDE,OF PRINCIPLES OVER POLITICS, OF JUSTICE OVER INJUSTICE.

Most Respected Sir, Your straight forward write-up reflects what is running in the minds of our fellow-pensioner colleagues. That is the longing ultimate wish of those who are mere members, for name sake, in other organisations paying subscriptions and donations unwillingly. The writing on the wall should open their eyes. We hope that the opposite camps have to fight hard to convince their members to continue under their fold. The very question of existence of such organisations would be hanging in the air after a clear-cut and favorable judgment of Supreme Court. As you have rightly pointed out, those days are not far off.With regards and fraternity, ----M.P.SUBRAHMANIAN, RIEA, MADURAI.9)Dear Friends, I am to inform you all that Shri R S Gopalan who was once ADM/ Estt, Bangalore DO, and who had worked in Thanjavur, Chennai etc passed away on 31-7-2015 at Bangalore.He was an ex-gratia pensioner having retired before 1986.A soft person, amenable to all logical arguments, he had endeared with everyone.We from Bangalore pray for the family to sustain this irreparable ,loss.-----G.KRISHNASWAMY10)DEAR FRIENDS, AT THE OUSET I THANK SRI.MAHADEVAN FOR HIS VIEWS

SEARCH FOR SUCH POLITICAL LEADERS TO COME TO OUR RESCUE
WHO WILL BELL THE CAT MAY REMAIN A BIG QUESTION MARK??
WILL IT BE??? WITH REGARDS--------- JALARAMAIAH11) ADDING STRENGTH TO OUR PENSION CASE. A new thought struck me, after going through the LIC Act, 1956 on the course of our defence, in the pension case, with a view to guess the nature of arguments the LIC & the Govt. may come up with during the final hearing. After a careful reading, I feel there is going to be a vehement attack of the judgement of the SB of the Jaipur High Court. The conclusion is, because the Nakaras case is fixed, any argument against that judgement before this Bench of the SC is going to be a futile exercise. Therefore the main attack this time will be more on the vested powers of the Govt. under Sec.48 of the LIC Act and the rules made there under, which have the force of law. The forerunner to this thinking, is in filing of the four writ petitions against Shri KMLA. The admission of the writs, is important for the Govt.. Once writs are admitted, many arguments may be made, including the theory of eminent domain, to make rules for governing. Already in the civil Appeal, contentions of such a nature, that a lawful act of the Govt. cannot be interfered with and in certain sovereign actions, there may be resulting injury to some, but the damage thereof is not serious to be interfered with by the Court. This has to be countered. I have earlier dealt with the illegality of the discrimination with the support of the decision in the Nakaras case and the supportive decision of the SB of the Jaiprur HC. Once it is proved that discrimination exists, the Constitution bars its implementation and it will be against the oath of office taken by the judiciary as well as the Executive to permit that illegality to continue. To sustain life to the intention of bestowing some benefits, the SB of the Jaipur HC, by the surgical removal of the cancerous part of the Sec.48 notification, gave life to it. The healthy part of the notification, as read down harmoniously, makes all the pensioners eligible for the benefits intended to be conferred. There is no remedy for a constitutional violation, except the removal of the offending violation. No need to repeat again other points arising in our favour, which are born out of judicial decisions.One other point of argument I thought of, after reading of the LIC Act 1956 is that, rule making powers are also inherent and born with the Corporation. Sec.19 of the LIC Act ordains with inherent powers to the Corporation such as those required to be done routinely to carry out the functions. The framers of the Act only found need to bring forth specific powers like in Sec.21'public interest', Sec.23 'staffing', Sec.24 'funds of the Copn' and Sec.48 'power to make rules' in specified areas. It has to be appreciated that non obstantate clause is used only with regard to backdating of certain actions but the powers are not mentioned to be exclusive privilege of the Govt. It can therefore be argued, that the delegation of powers under Sec 23 for recruitment, vests the innate authority to decide at what terms and conditions such appointments are made. At the most, powers under Sec.23 read with the authority to manage the functions of the Corporation under Sec.19 with that under Sec.48, to make rules, is not exclusive but innate with the constitution of the LIC and therefore such powers of the Govt. are complementary and enabling provisions. We have the strength of the observations of the Jaipur HC and the other two HC's, who had no hesitation in agreeing to the finding. The recommendation for increasing the pension by 11.25% is also within the powers of the Board of Management under Sec.19, which need not be approved because NO SUCH OVER RIDING POWERS are reserved under Sec.48. It may not be out of place to mention here the history of the amendment, to include the powers to make rules with regard to terms and conditions, was as a result of the inability of the LIC in the 70's to contain a sustained trade union pressure.From the above arguments, it is very important to go back to my earlier suggestion, that the disability in the earlier Sec.48 notification, after the harmonious reading down by the HC, is cured to make it alive and within the fundamental rights and universally applicable. All other arguments, hope there are none, to be heard as seen from the statements on grounds of Appeal, will fall like nine pins. Of course, acceptance goes with the SC but the belief on the strength of our case, gives us the courage. Notwithstanding the apparent decision of the LIC to pay the '20%' to the litigants only, the earlier rule as read down by the Jaipur HC, will be the final resolution that has to be followed by the LIC. That removes all the cobwebs of doubts and makes all pensioners one and in a single group to be eligible for all the benefit that will arise out of holding so by the SC.The SC in Union of India Vs Pradip Kumar & others held "In relation to beneficial legislation, the law is well settled that while constructing the provisions of such a legislation, the court should adopt a construction which advances the policy of legislation to extend the benefit, rather than a construction which has the effect of curtailing the benefit conferred by it" (1995 (2) SCC 736). This decision is a direct hit, on the construction of the benefit of DR neutralisation, as drafted into the rules made under Sec.48, to give effect to a higher rate of neutralisation only to those who retired after 1-8-1997. It needs no further elaboration to bring into lime light the curtailing effect of the benefit to retirees earlier to 1-8-1997. The Judgement of the Jaipur HC precisely removed this curtailment, to make the rule applicable to all. Therefore, by its Judgement the learned Judge not only removed the discriminative part but also erased the effect of curtailment of the extension of the benefit, to be within the ruling of the SC quoted above.Another argument that arises out of the situation is this. Sec.48 is the penultimate provision. Sec.49 is the last. The drafters of the LIC Act, from Sec.1 to 47 dealing with the formation or the birth of the LIC, its 'namakaranam' or naming to giving it life and limb, finally as a measure of caution retained legislative authority by way of residuary powers, in Sec.48 & 49 to meet unforeseen eventuality, as is usual in drafting. By these rules and regulations what is generally achieved is uniformity of procedures or to draw a sketch of the boundaries within which to act, without in any way violating the main law, the LIC Act.For the purpose of it functioning, provisions have been made in Sec.19, providing for formation of various Committees for effective management. Sec.21 reserves powers to the Govt. to direct the activities of the LIC in 'public interest'. What is 'public interest' is also left to the Govt. to decide. It is interesting to note that this exclusive right is given to the Govt. only in this section and its ambit is also limited. Sec.23 gives powers for recruitment of staff. Sec.49 had a provision to make rules for appointment of staff but that proviso has been omitted by a subsequent amendment, making staff recruitment the sole prerogative of the LIC. It is relevant to note that under terms and conditions of services in Sec.48, the powers of the Govt. will not become absolute because there are other relevant labour laws to be followed. It is the usual practice for the LIC to enter into an agreement with the representative trade unions for a wage revision, and the agreement is implemented through a notification under Sec.48. That is why that Section, at best be called an enabling provision. It is the Management that enters into a agreement for the wage revision and not the Govt. Therefore there is no doubt that power to determine a wage structure rests with the LIC. The management has the vested powers to implement such revision even without the consent of the Govt. but the moot question is will the LIC ever do it. But as far as the problem in our hand, the curtailment or restriction of the revised DR formula is not only against the Constitutional provisions but also the SC ruling cited above. With the Jaipur HC decision in our favour, it is a right enforceable in law. The Govt. and the LIC are bound by it, because they are the misdemenors. Shri KMLA or others have only tried to establish their fundamental rights and there is no duty they owe to the Govt. or LIC for any writ against him, to lie. There is no cause of action for a writ. Any grievance against the Jaipur HC decision is through an appeal only, and the Govt. cannot be a party now for the simple reason, they have not appealed earlier, in spite of the opportunity given to them by the DB of the HC. The LIC has no right of appeal, because of the finding of the HC that they have no grievance.Legislation, by a Democratic Govt., is made with a view to bestow some benefits for a common purpose. It is possible, in that process, some damage is caused to a few, for e.g by the Land Acquisition Act, but the award of compensation (now at market rate) is supposed to mitigate the loss. As an example the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Programme may be quoted. Well intended public purpose laws can be considered a beneficial action. But if the dirt of partisan/ sectarian interests, are allowed to soil such actions, it turns to be malefic. May be a small price is also to be paid for the benefits gained. Thus curtailment of a benefit, without any reason, is unjust. Law and justice shall meet eye to eye, if not that law is inequitable and bad. The recent decision of the SC to permit a juvenile to abort a pregnancy as a result of a criminal act, even though prohibited by law, illustrates the law of justice. The law on wire tapping, treatment of prisoners of war, under International Law are examples of dispensing justice. Lord Krishna in his 'Githopadesam' to Arjuna says for the sake of justice doing a bit of 'adharma' is permitted. Therefore logically, ethically and legally a benefit has to be extended to all, by a legal enactment, rather than curtailing of such benefit, especially to a few, is the rule and any act, rule or regulation against this rule is illegal being unjustifiable.It is hoped that the loud thinking will encourage, our beloved pensioner friends to be patient till the final whistle and not create any hype because the decision finally goes with the SC.--------A.S.Ramanathan,12)Dear Shri Kishoreji, I am very ardently reading your communications excepting your website. I am always quoting you, to my colleagues, as a phenomenon on the horizon of retirees' organisations in India. So no question of belittling /ignoring the Herculean job you perform.

The 4-page gist will be highly useful. – --------------------- RBKishore, VP,AIRIEF16) Respected Sri. Kishoreji, Nothing new and the new IA filed in SC deserves any comments. What all argued in our main petition, the same are argued in the present IA, of course with worked out figures. Shall we call it as " old wine in new bottle " ?Their main aim is to, somehow, project their petition primarily and boast that the final decision of SC has emerged only because of their latest IA. After having fallen into a pitch with false hopes and closed eyes,they have now understood their folly and try to come out of it with hard efforts with fresh unsustainable explanations to appease their innocent followers.Every member-pensioner thoroughly knows that these favourable developments have come only out of the judgment of Rajasthan HC and that too out of Sri. K.M.L.Asthana's individual efforts. We do not understand as to why they are so vehement as to admit this basic truth. Can we go a step further in the legal process omitting Rajasthan HC's judgment ? It would be better to understand the realities at least now.In my personal opinion, I don't think, the present IA would bring any useful turn of events instantly before 23rd, September. Let us all hope that broad based arguments already stuffed in the judgments of SB / DB of Jaipur Bench of Rajasthan HC, together with fresh additional convincing input, would play a major role in coveting a clear cut and unambiguous judgment from the Apex Court during September or October or November. Why, then, these futile exercise at an unnecessary cost ? Nothing could harm our main petition or the flawless efforts of our champion Sri. K.M.L.ASTHANA.With fraternity, -------------M.P.Subrahmanian, RIEA, Madurai.17) Respected Shri. Kishore, I am thankful for your reply to Shri.

JAI HIND Regards, -------- KUMARI28)Thanks sir. It is very interesting and educating.--------- Dharmendra29) Excellent - Splendid - Extraordinary - Praise worthy !!! MADURAI UNIT OF AIRIEF congratulate the united struggle of Veterans against dilly dallying play of the ruling party in taking a final decision on their just demand of " ONE RANK ONE PENSION ". Despite Apex Court's favourable verdict and the subsequent Nod of the Central Cabinet, it is unfortunate that the Veterans are made to struggle hard for more than a decade. Sensing the sinister move of bureaucracy in not implementing their earlier promises, they took a bold decision of taking their agitation to the streets. Their oral persuasions to the heroes, with an intention of buying some more time, could not soften the already vexed mood of the agitators. Probably, it might have been the game plan of the rulers to silence their demands in the long run.The hunger strike launched went off peacefully, attracting the attention of the general public, for 60 days. On 61st day, that is on 14-08-2015, the administration there, tried to obstruct the ongoing scene under the pretext that it would lead to security threat. What a funny approach ! How could they have come to the conclusion that the Veterans, who served in the borders providing all-time safety cover to our Nation till yesterday, would give rise to such situations ? They were also very very careful in not allowing their agitation to be ever politicized.Every one was under the impression that our Prime Minister would declare in his Independence Day address about the commencement of OROP. They are very much disappointed. We, the LIC pensioner-brethren, await to see further developments arising out of a clear cut favourable judgment of Apex Court over our 17 years long pending twin demands. Let us hope that such testing situations would not creep in.----------M.P.Subrahmanian, RIEA, Madurai.COLLECTIONS : R.B.KISHORE, VP,AIRIEF, 16/8/2015
