Sir,
I am not aware of how many recipients of your mail responded
to its contents and in what manner.I shall like to share my ideas
with you and shall love to be corrected if the line of my thinking
is wrong.
The process of granting increasing pensions to the ageing
Central/State govt. retirees has been in existence for a long
time.We mentioned it in our writ filed in Chandigarh H C in
2010 and requested for the same for the LIC retirees.
Our present legal status is
1-The LIC cannot give any financial relief to its pensioners
without the Central Govt. amending the pension rules.And,
2-The LIC retirees can not be treated at par with the Govt
retirees in the matter of payment of theretiral benefits.
Our main demand in the Supreme Court is to be treated
at par with the Govt employees as our pension rules are framed
by the central govt and these are similar to the central civil
services pension rules.
Getting all set to fight the case vigorously in the Supreme Court
against the LIC/Govt combine and then requesting them
simultaneously for small mercies appear contradictory exercises.
It won't pay.
Yes.It is election time.And the BJP can feel the earth under its
feet shaky as compared to the last time.It is the best time for
the leadership of the BJP backed trade unions of employees
and the retirees to alert their political bosses to retrieve the
loosing grounds.I am sure the bankers are going to be more
aggressive in their agitations in the coming weeks.The Govt
may feel compelled to take some favourable decisions before
the elections are announced.
And,we get on with our meeting on the 2nd Feb.and then the
Supreme Court after 11th Feb.
With regards,
S N Chhabra
