Dear All LIC Pensioners Friends,.
Pensioners’
case in HC Delhi today
At
the hearing of the case today, the ASG representing UOI pleaded for further
time to file the Government’s affidavit. The Bench expressed surprise that their
counter could not be got ready though more than three weeks have passed since
last hearing. The Bench pointed out that that the deadline fixed by the S.C. is
ending. LIC wanted extension but our counsel pointed out that they should have
applied to S.C. for extension instead of stating so before the Court. The Bench
stipulated that LIC should seek extension from the S.C. immediately, and report
back. The Bench directed that on being mentioned on 31st Aug in
regard to having moved the matter at the S.C., a definite date for argument
will be fixed on that day.
The
Counsel appearing for a petitioner raised the issue that the IR of 40% has not
been made properly. The Judge remarked that other petitioners also have
submitted varying replies giving different interpretations, but the HC will not
go into the issue as the terms of reference from S.C. do not include such
issue.
We
have instructed our Counsel to inform on 31st instant, the date of
final argument.
