Re: Matters of Urgency
We confirm that all necessary arrangements have been made to ensure that our Amended writ is filed in the Delhi HC before it closes for summer vacation on 1/6. Prompt information will be given after the papers are lodged in the court's registry.
Meantime we learn that the breakaway group of Hyderabad has filed what they claim to be a 'comprehensive writ'., and it is likely to come up in a day or two. Our Fedn has taken a policy decision to oppose any petition from any quarters other than the parties involved in the three WPs remanded by the Supreme Court to the Delhi HC, and accordingly we have suitably instructed our counsel.

It is strange that the Hyd. Leaders who were totally against any benefit accruing to the old generation pensioners of pre 97 category unless and until up gradation for all is granted by the judiciary, have now started shedding (crocodile) tears for them. They are wooing them for donations by highlighting the faulty calculation of arrears by LIC and suggesting that individual letters should be sent to Chairman. We have repeatedly said that we are seized of this issue and will be bringing this to the notice of the Delhi Hc and seeking appropriate directions through our Amendment petition. Besides we are also seeking relief for subsequent retirees (post 97) including updation in the context of the successive wage revisions for in-service employees. All pensioners will therefore kindly note that our petition will be no less comprehensive.
In this background, we appeal once again that the contribution of 5% out of 40% IR shall be legitimately be due only to our organisation especially when the same was granted by the Hon'ble Supreme Court based on the specific prayer of ours against Rule 3A and on the pleading made before the court by our St. Counsel and also by the counsel for the Jaipur petitioners.
While on the subject of donations we may recall that we had also taken up the cases of pensioners eligible for IR at Barelly Mysore and Kozhikode. It is gratifying that in recognition of our contribution to their cause new units affiliated to our Fedn have been formed in the first two of the said three centers and we hope Kozhikode will also follow suit In meantime. We specially look forward to contributions from these centers . Cheques/DDs may be drawn in the name of our Fedn and sent to me at the earliest
With greetings
