Overriding aim of ALL Petitioners must be to appreciate the Crucial Macro decision we all must get from SC Bench a final & favourable verdict from the Apex Court resolving DR disparity between Pre & Post 8/1997 pensioners ,removing Discrimination ,as well as Glaring Anamolies in Pension based on date of retirement .
Most important, Final phase should not be marred by any Deviant submission by any Petitioner diverting attention from MAIN issue so cardinal & near & dear to ALL GROUPS of Pensioners.Does anyone want more Ordeal & pinpricks for pensioners even Beyond 20 years passed by ? We participated fully right from beginning.Those who retired in last many years & post -8/1997must thank their Stars for reaping decent pension & retired with exemplary retirement benefits.
Major desideratum is on 11 Oct 2018,with frenzy, because of series of mistakes committed by LIC in COCircular 18/8/2018, ,instead of clear 1st Writ 6676/1998on DR dt 18/12/1998, CO took 29/1/2007 on PU,deprived microscopic pre 8/1997 pensioners too,as ALL pre 8/97 pensioners are not eligible, with cut off BP for Group I & Group II fixed at Rs2130 & Rs3850, as only those pensioners above this get eligibility of that small rise in DR % prescribed miserly by DHC. Not knowing the kernel of facts,its implications, automatic elimination because of narrow, restrictive approach of DHC,many with lesser BPension than stipulated by DHC, Sad to see messages negative, sarcastic,tit for tat,Class III nil,presuming wrongly that balance 60 % is payable when DHC order lays down norms, to say none cares,leadership is silent, not knowing the Charts & analysis made by us even in May 2017 pointing out deficiencies & preparing ourselves for onslaught with LIC & UOI.
Admire that,friends,reciprocal responsibility exists & pensioners must also enquire with interest the ongoings in Court & implications.Disparaging & detrimental remarks are not in good taste, Let us exercise restraint, we are so-called Elders, deemed to be mature.Twilight of lives,Tranquillity is essential.
True, CO added fuel to fire by Supplementary Circular dt 1/9/2018, Celebration Day for LIC but Mourning Day for this miniscule Group of pensioners that CO ensured Deduction of 40 % IR paid in 5/2016 from this part arrears, even when Para 108 of DHC was clear not to refund or repay by this Group of eligible pensioners.
Such grievance against LIC should not Delay or Derail MAIN contentions & Final Submissions & Replies as if & if & ONLY this critical part of Twin Benefits with sound exposition of Rule 3A ,as a Stepping stone for PU,with merger of Full & Correct DR,not truncated DR must be accepted by Bench as the real remedy & that will eclipse ALL aberrations & limitations foisted on poor pensioners by LIC.Above all, it will be a Unique ,Superlative & Memorable Milestone in the march of Services & Financial Sector, friends.Tell all to cooperate not confront, a clasped Hand is better than a clenched fist
Hon Justice Lokur retires on Monday,31/12/2018 & hence desirable regular hearing takes place, completed before end of October 2018, preferably, as Judgement will run into pages & pages ,leaving sufficient time for SC Bench to release the judgement in November, 2018.
Faith& Prayers:
