I refer to the above letter published in your blog.
There appears to be a tone of pessimism in his letter as far as the outcome of our case in the Supreme Court is concerned. It is strange for the Chairman of the Legal Committee of the Federation Of Retired Class I Officers to exude such pessimism when the case is still being fought.Supreme Court may or may not give everything,but a petitioner has to legally fight for what he believes that he is entitled to get according to constitutional rights and he has to fight for the same to the end come what may.To settle for ' something ' irrespective of entitlement has always been the guiding philosophy for Mr GNS and this has the potential to damage the interests of not only pre-August 1997 retirees, but the interest of the entire fraternity of pensioners.
The ODI cricket match is not won or lost till the last ball is bowled.To concede defeat before that betrays an attitude of diffidence which is definitely unwarranted in the current circumstances.
My personal view is that our getting justice is not dependent on IBA or Bank retirees getting any benefits,but the other way.The Bank retirees are keenly watching the ongoing litigation in our case a positive outcome of which may in their perception may bode well for them .
Greetings.
