Our case in SC Court No. 6 are on board tomorrow also

Dear All,
Our case is on Board tomorrow also at the same Serial No. 111 provided the Constitution Bench does not sit or the case is over.
With regards,
R K SAHNI 

OUR CASE IN SC ON 24.04.2024

We are given to understand that normally Regular Appeals are heard on Wednesday and Thursday. 
Further our case is on Board and  therefore the cases listed before the bench will be taken up serial wise. So we don't have to worry about the next date. 
The possibilities are that our case may come up before the Summer Vacations of the Supreme Court.

Message from Shri Ashok Joshi

Today I was connected to Aryaji on phone through Shri. Rajiv Sharma ji of Delhi. Aryaji informed that wage notification has been referred to ECI on Friday for NOC.
Tomorrow I will be going to Delhi for 3 days. Hectic efforts are on to meet DFS through Aryaji. Our Delhi OBs have met Arya ji thrice in the last 15 days.

Shri Sahni ji,
As informed by Shri Saxena ji, chances of our cases coming up tomorrow are feeble. So, I have not gone to Delhi. However, our advocates are prepared to start arguments, if the hearing takes place and if felt necessary they would request for keeping the cases on board in stead of giving next date. Let us see what happens tomorrow.
Regards,
M P Agnihotri

Distribution of Exgratia amount to staff pensioners/ Family pensioners by SBI on 01.09.2023



Courtesy ::S K AWASTHI 

Today's(22.04.2024) mission at Delhi completed. T

Today's mission at Delhi completed. Today I visited the DFS office and met some officials. The letter from DFS to Election Commission for No Objection has been sent. Their reply is awaited. On receipt of it the Notification can be expected any day this week. As per sources the Ex- gratia to the pensioners is not on the pattern of Bank pensioners.My guess is, it is on the lines of  "SBI SALUTES" Scheme, ONE TIME LUMP SUM PAYMENT., not every month like in Banks. Complete details would be known on Notification. So wait for some more days to know the truth.

Fw: ,AIRIEF LEGAL BATTLE QUOTES,PERISCOPE INTO THE PAST & PRAGMATIC PERSPECTIVE & CARE FOR ENSUING SC CAs/CivilAppeal on Wednesday 24th April 2024

             DEAR ALL,
                                                                       1)  Never think hard about the past, 

It brings tears,

Don't think more about the future,

It brings fear,
Live this moment with a Smile,

It brings cheer.

 

*Every test in our life makes us

Bitter or better,
Every problem comes to

Make us or break us,

The choice is ours whether we

Become victims or victorious.

 

&Happiness keeps You Sweet,

Trials keep You Strong,

Success keeps You Glowing,

And but Only God keeps You Going!


         2)It is disturbing that Pensioners should be treated so bad & from 6676/ 1998 writ on DR  to 24/11/ 2001 LIC Board Resolution  to 654/2007writ on Pension Upgradation  to 12/1/2010 Hon SJ Jaipur judgement admitting Both Writs to  dismissal of LIC Appeal493 & 494/2010 by DB Jaipur HC  on 21/1/2011 to dismissal of LIC Review Petition 86 & 87/2011 by DB Jaipur HC on 19/8/2011 to SC Bench clarificatory Order 17/10/2012,amending their vague Order dt 14/11.2011 ,to Punjab & Haryana HC Order 9/11/2012 adding 12 % interest for delay,  to Delhi HC Order 30/1/2013  affirming Jaipur verdict & adding "in rem' to all Pensioners, to LIC SLPs 29956 & 29957 dismissed on 8/8/2013 to 30/9/2013 when SC Bench issued NO STAY Order  on  Hon SJ verdict 12/1/2010 & allied matters  ,condonation of LIC inordinate  delay of 6 months 14 days by SC Bench resulting in new Avatar of CAs 8959—8962/2013   to 25/3/2015 ,SC Bench hearing of CAs to 8/4/2015, to Interim Order dt 7/5/2015 giving 6 weeks time to pay 20%  of impugned HC judgement, delay by LIC, to CGH CCP on 20 July & again  to 27th July 2015,Hon HC ordering hearing on 7th Oct 2015,as admittedly the case is linked with SC hearing on 23 Sep,2015, to   IA in respect of Punjab & Haryana HC in SC ,hearing on 7th Sep,2015 SC Bench ordering LIC to pay to CGH Petitioners interim 20% within a fortnight failing which LIC authority faces contempt before SC.   Hon Judges Dipak Misra & Sapre  29page order dt 31st March 2016 ,while regretting that LIC Board Resolution dt 24November 2001 could not fructify,the Petitioners came so near but so far,on Pension upgradation,as unassailable submissions on  violation of Constitutional Rights enshrined were not presented with data & basis of such reasoning,but examples of wide Disparities 7/8 Grades below getting more pension than their Seniors ,indications exist of pervasive anamolies & discrimination but the grounds of challenge must be powerful to convince the Bench.   SC also granted interim relief of 40%  as per para 3A of the Appendix of Pension Rules,1995.
          3)While making payment of arrears on DR as propounded by Delhi HC as per the order dt27/4/2017, LIC misconstrued the directions and paid arrears from Jan 2007 in stead of 1998, which was the date of first WP 6676/1998 filed on these issues. LIC also deducted the amount of 40% of the interim relief paid as per SC order dated 31/3/2016 whereas DHC clarified in the order that payment made in terms of interim directions issued by the SC would not be refunded or returned to the Corporation. 

.    4) LET UGADI,VISHU,TAMIL NEW YEAR DAY,SRI RAMANAVAMI FESTIVAL, BRIGHTEN OUR LIVES,with MUCH-AWAITED SC  FINAL  HEARING on WEDNESDAY 24th April 2024.Last SC SLPs hearing,   MAY  UTHSAVAM,GOWRAVAM, AANANDAM,DHANAM, ISHWARYAM prevail & permeate.

        5) SC Hon Judges dismissed LIC Sr Counsel intervention to ,dismiss SLPs saying 'Anamolies exist etc & fixed April 24th as earlier Mondays,Tuesdays ,Criminal cases consumed most time,leaving poor pensioners in the lurchDuring the course of discussions, the Bench informed that if arguments by the Advocates of all the parties are not completed on the first day of hearing, proceedings will continue next day in continuation.

       6)Redeeming Feature is SLPs are now converted as CAs,Civil Appeals & so if  Focussed submissions ,Holistic,Appealing & Arresting Data ,coupled with Anamolies galore of 8 grades below getting more pensioin than their Seniors.& Discrimination even in DA/DR for pre8/1997 pensioners,wherein 1/1/1986 to 31/7/1997 Pensioners get  50% DR compared to Full 100%DR to post 8/97 pensioners & also to ALL Employees post 8/97.

         7) Our Active,Ebullient LSG Legal Study Group for the last many years have prepared copious Valuable Notes to our Sr Counsel Sri Nidesh Gupta & Regular Updates with reference to all latest Court cases gist & relevance handed over to him. Our Paper book is extensive and covers all the aspects of our issue duly supported by the relevant provisions of Rules, facts, statistics, and most suitable citations to counter the erroneous observations and conclusions of DelhiHC as well as strengthen our prayer for the order/appropriate writ to resolve our grievances by issuing direction to UOI/LIC to revise the pension with each wage revision and make payments to the beneficiaries from the due date, i.e. date of retirement. Our prayer covers both the issues – DR Disparity and Pension Anomaly.

    Suggestions and views expressed by our learned members from time to time, we have been taking into consideration and the relevant parts thereof are taken in our briefing notes.  

       8)Not only that,MrMPAgnihotri RMLegal Retd attended almost all Sittings  of SC Delhi & had recently also elaborate discussions on Most Critical Matters impinging on AIRIEF Prayers,seeking Final Orders ,not to miss any.Our Resident Advocate as a Liaison is also in fine communication with our LSG.    

        9) LIBERAL Legal Fund Donations from ALL GROUPS of Pensioners are immediately needed,as ALL will benefit, to enhance LFD kitty ,WITHOUT being Miserly at this juncture, a TURNING POINT in  AN EPIC . LEGAL  BATTLE  SPANNING 24 YEARS, heading  for FINAL DISPOSAL to clinch PU Pension Upgradation,Revision with every Wage revision & to harassed,beleagured  pre-8/97 Pensioners removing utter Discrimination of a paltry 50% DR only,unwarranted & illegal too. 

      Only TOPUP Submissions & Crucial Arguments  ,with Unanimity of Views & NO dissonance ,for which lot of efforts were/are made& being made to clinch Victory.  Faith & Prayers.     GREETINGS ,

Last Leg of Journey

DEAR ALL, 
Last Leg of Journey,
Meandering course,22500 pensioners dead &dying, SC as APEX Court must UPHOLD FULLEST JUSTICE to BELEAGURED Pensioners languishing in OLD Basic Pension,Violation of Fundamental Rights of Equity,Equality

 

        Yes,looks to be a Turn of the Tide,after many many adjournments,ony an AN Session could somewhat  delight the audience,even if it was for 20/25 mts,of the KERNEL TRUTH being echoed by our Sr Advocate Sri Nidhish Gupta.As Mr CHMahadevan says SLPs are admitted,to be converted to CAs  & next hearing, as HonJudges seemed to remark --there are Anamolies,we appreciate  etc.They perhaps desire to complete before Summer vacation .

      Meandering 23 years of agony for Pensioners,unfathomable series of Adjourments,dampened the spirits of Elders & Seniors,22,500 deaths, agony it is to hear tragic loss,LFDonations, LIC & MOF really owe an apology,even after Hon FM, late 2020  & 2021, in IBA wage accord meetings,announced the clarion call Govt is determined to honour Super Sr Citizens & raising herself the question & the problem Pensioners of earlier wage periods suffer heavily & that will be duly rectified soon.She went to the extent of asserting why not we fit them for Same Cadres,same benefit of pension.This thought has to be translated quickly as more than 2 Decades of rot,delay,procrastination, no forward movement took place.She fulfilled her promise of Family Pensioners getting raw deal of very low pension, BUT no earlier date was given ,so they got small arrears only.Bank FP could get from July 2021 .

       Tons & Volumes have been written on PU Pension Upgradation with Every Wage Revision & pre 8/1997 pensioners the worst hit , receiving lowest pension with lowest DR too,for they had to retire at age 58,with low Salary & DA,which DR per slab,on retirement also very low  & Cumulative Losses from 1/1/86 to 31/7/1997 to date is colossal  spanning 30 years & more.One cannot forget the Saga of sacrifice done by Stalwarts of that regime with Devotion & Dedication to espouse  a Cause & initiate all measures to fulfil same with a variety of strategy,plan, preparation  of various Charts & Tables, Eminent Public Relations,so essential for breaking resistance & creating a Meeting ground.That was studiously done, indefatigably followed  & resulted in many meetings with then all 4 Independent Directors,under the able guidance of S/Sri Sunil Sashtri ,late  HCMehta,President,AIRIEF ,lateCSMurty,GS ,late JKKarulkar Mumbai & Myself RBKishore,Several parleys with Directors with Loss of Pension Charts ,& illustrations showed Stark neglect of early pensioners,incurring heavy loss in difference of pension & DR ,8 Steps below Cadres getting more pension than  their Seniors. A marathon meeting of 110 minutes with Sri GNBajpai  on various facets & subsequent fup meetings & Dr KhannaDirector raised the query of Anamolies & Discrimination, BOARD Resolution 492 of 24 Nov 2001 came into being.Also same Weightage as  for Salary rise  given as 11.25%  Pensioners also to be given same increase. As now SC takes upon itself errors of omission & commission of Authorities failing to take right decisions at right time,This Salutary BR consisting of principles of DR merger with Basic Pension, & LIC releasing those Charts unmistakably point out,Initially  at 600CPI then ,again a merger at next 1148,final at that time,1740CPI Merger with such raised New Basic Pension is a testimony for Success of our Negotiations with Chairman,Birth OF BR, NEW breeze of Correct Fitment , the Heart & Kernel of true PUpgradation.   

        Assns  sing  the  Pensioners' Nigam Geeth  of Twin Benefits & join the Orchestra in Utmost  Good Faith, Uberrima Fides.

        A progressive organization must aim for equity & harmony & to establish  & preserve integrity of relativity in  pay & pension, which is vitalEQUALITY of interests & no discrimination  should be the ethical  ground & principle.

         Basic criteria  is grant of similar pension for all those with same length of service for the same cadre  & that is violated. 

What pensioners are asking   for  is not even  the tail of the subsidiary benefits,other than BP,DA,HRA,CCA etc like Transport allowance,Fixed Personal Allowance,Cash Medical Benefit etc,granted to employees in wage  settlements  or  

                                                                               the tail of the  Meal Coupon outlay bonanza as an Anniversary gift to employees on 1/9/2010 & progressively being improved.,then outlay Rs250crpa,standing now at Rs650crpa !
