Respected LIC Pensioner Colleagues,
Cheers !
A state of lull prevails upon our further strategies, after having
fought a thorough ' Mega Legal Battle ' at DHC against a ' Mighty
Bureaucracy '. We witnessed and enjoyed their unscrupulous arguments put
forth before the court with a determined malafide conspiracy to deny
our legitimate twin demands. Our Sr.Counsel deserves rounded applause
and full-scale appreciation for having shattered their baseless and
imaginary quotes with banging counter quotes. Whether one likes it or
not, we are bound to recognize the initial efforts of our great
vice-president Sri. K.M.L. Asthana. But for him, the present
developments on our monetary losses and the legal efforts could not have
come to this far at all. It will be a sin on our part if we do not
recognize the strenuous and hours-long efforts taken by our leaders,
including that of our VP, Sri. R.B.Kishore, for the emergence of the
historic ' Board Resolution '. Though the Apex Court has set aside the
orders of the HCs concerned, the force of the judgments of Single &
Double Benches of Jaipur Branch of Rajasthan HC have played a vital role
in the subsequent hearings at DHC, because of powerful and convincing
presentation. Sr.Counsel Sri. Nidesh Gupta has wonderfully argued on
the findings of Nakkara Commission and a spate of other earlier
favourable similar judgments which have got direct bearings on our
issues.
Not a
minute was allowed to go waste from the house of Sri. RBK without
carrying the important & relevant points to be considered by the '
Legal Committee ' , which, in turn, used to forward them to our
Sr.Counsel for his legal scrutiny.
If there is a gentleman-activist in our midst, without caring for name
and fame, it is none other than Sri. M.P.Agnihotri. He may not like
anybody complimenting him for his note-worthy services rendered to our
pensioner-community under the banner of AIRIEF. Hope he will forgive and
excuse me when I write that he is not only an experienced trade
unionist, but also possesses deep legal knowledge. Many may not know
that he is the architect in preparing our basic draft-affidavit, which
went a long way in preparing the final draft by our Sr.Counsel.
Thanks to our President, Sri. S.S.Saxena for having conducted
Executive and Legal committee meetings, at the needed hours, to
ascertain the views of the bases and take suitable working decisions on
all counts. He never failed to give credence to the suggestions emanated
from his fellow-office bearers in any matter concerning the over-all
improvement of our colleagues.The timely support extended by Messieurs.
T.R. Madhava Rao, Pramod Bhatnagar, G.Krishnaswamy, D.D.Gupta, Ranjan
Dey Sarkar, R.K.Sahni, Lakkapragada Sivaramakrishna Rao and a few other
activists will ever remain green in our memory.
We are fully satisfied with the line of actions taken by our leaders
in the present legal issues -- be it in the matter of collection of
vital documents, or needed explanations wherever necessary or in the
matter of fixing-up an able and eminent Sr.Counsel, etc. We never
attempted to beg, borrow or steal any thing from any body else We never dream of disturbing anybody's venture. We stood firm on our own ideals
and principles.
