HYDERABAD ASOCIATION                                  WHILE WE WAIT FOR THE VERDICT........Part 2 Dear ALL LIC Pensioner colleagues & Family Pensioners, Yesterday I shared my view that while we wait for the verdict, we cannot just wait and do nothing but we, (all the Petitioners), have work to do. I now want to open up and speak out what is in my mind. I am OK with whatever reaction/response (or no response) visits me. When the verdict is out (Btw, I was talking to a Sr Advocate today from outside our team, who asked me about the status of our case. When I informed him that the Judgement was reserved on 21 Feb and we are expecting it to be delivered before 31 March because a batch will get disposed of in this financial year. He dismissed the reason behind 31 March as I gave. Then he asked, what is the time given by SC? On being told it is 30 April, he said 'then don't expect it before 31 March – yours is a very heavy matter and Justice Khanna needs to take his time) as we are all expecting and hoping for a positive outcome, there will be celebrations, claims/counter claims all sorts of bonhomie for a few days and then everybody has to wait for the Judgement copy to be uploaded. The first important step from the Petitioners' side would be to file a caveat in the Supreme Court. This is exactly the stage of my grave concern, as the rigmarole starts all over again. Although the content of the Caveat will be identical for all, do we visualize six separate Caveat Petitions? Six different Sr Counsels? Is it going to be a repeat of the Post-31 March 2016 scenario? Or have we (our leaders) learnt any lessons? I want to throw this topic for open discussion, not only for the Leaders but more for the members of different Organizations. We from the Hyderabad Association are open for any dialogue with anybody. Without any pre-conditions. Such thought-sharing cannot wait till after the Judgement is out. Now is the best and correct time to start. We from the Hyderabad Association have planned a major 'first move' in that direction for tomorrow the 15th March 2017. On that note, I sign off for now to resume in my WHILE WE WAIT FOR THE VERDICT........Part 3
