Periodical revision of pension

Mr Asthana has been repeating the same old points again. If the Legal Committee did not agree with the suggestions of Mr Asthana,the Committee view should be accepted as one emerging out of collective wisdom.The Legal Committee is larger than an individual member of the Committee.There is no point in blaming the Committee or the AIRIEF for having taken decisions in the interest of the pensioners at large.
Mr Asthana's financial constraints are understandable but it is up to him to decide how to meet the situation in the present circumstances and explore the options for the same.
If he decides to withdraw from the legal fight at this juncture,it will indeed be unfortunate,but with five other SLPs before the Supreme Court,the case will go on.Personally I feel that there are better chances today of a successful finality in the Apex Court than if Mr Asthana would have carried on the fight alone as done earlier.Not that he would not have been able to win, but the risk of losing the legal battle has now been minimized with different pensioners' organizations in the legal fight for a common cause.
So I feel that there is no room for pessimism in the present situation.Let us look forward for good developments on 10th January 2018 in the Supreme Court.
Greetings.
