I do not remember to have seen the following letter of Central Office dated 01.09.2018 addressed to Zonal Managers regarding Implementation of order dated 2.04.2017 of Delhi High Court earlier.
Para 108 of Delhi High Court judgment dated 27/4/2017 reads as follows:
"-108. We would also clarify that payment made in terms of interim directions
issued by the Supreme Court would not be refunded or returned to the
Corporation. We have issued the said direction as the amount paid is
not substantial for the Corporation, whereas asking the retired
employees/pensioners to refund the amount would put them in a grave
financial difficulty."
But the instructions given to the Zonal Managers is contrary to the Para 108 instructing
recovery of interim relief from the arrears payable upto 27/4/2017.
Such instructions, in my opinion constitute contempt of Court considering that LIC has not challenged the DHC judgment.
