Respected Sri. K.M.L.Asthana,

   Hope this mail of mine finds you in improved health and renewed energy and spirits and also we anticipate your presence during subsequent hearings at Supreme Court.

   You could have noticed the reporting of Sri. MSM on payments of remunerations and other perquisites to LIC Chairman and MD from LIC funds on the basis of recommendations by Central Govt Pay Commissions, while they are still treated as employees of of LIC and governed by LIC Staff Regulations.

   Now Sri. MSM claims that these arguments are quite new and  struck to Sri. MSM and Sri. CHM alone.

   There is a faint remembrance that we have already raised these strange phenomenon  in our earlier submissions either at earlier lower courts or at Supreme Court and that it was negated on the plea that they are appointed by Central Govt. Could you recollect this ?

   Please confirm the correct position.

Fraternally Yours,

M.P.Subrahmanian,

RIEA, Madurai.
