Dear Editor,
Being
personally present in Supreme Court to watch our case proceedings live
on 07.05.2015 , I released an update immediately through Whatsapp to
all concerned after coming out of court no. 5 based on my interpretation
and assessment with a precaution that Exact Order to be available on
supreme court website will throw some more light thereby finally
indicating my message either fully or partially correct. Still waiting
for Supreme Court Orders. Increasing no of hits on your blog indicate
anxiety of all L.I.C.Pensioners.
Two most
frequently asked questions by all friends on phone during our entire
journey by train from New Delhi to Chandigarh on 7th evening are as
below.:-
1. Whether said order is applicable to Non-Petitioners or not ?
2. Whether said order is for D.A.only or it includes Pension Up gradation also ?
I wish to add a third Question also.
3. Whether L.I.C. will interpret Supreme Court Order dated 07.05.2015 correctly ?
Past
experience tells us so far L.I.C. has made a mockery of Two High Court
Verdicts namely Jaipur and Chandigarh while depositing amount due to
Petitioners which actually is pure D.A for. pre 01.08.1997 retirees
without any weightage of 11.25 % for 1997 wage revision as well as two
further wage agreements for 2002 and 2007. We can not blame any one for
this situation as our whole judicial system ensures quick relief to
rich and resourceful citizens and poor L.I.C. Pensioners do not belong
to this class.
