After the written arguments have been submitted before the DHC, there has been a sort of lull but within few days came up the posts of Shri MSM under the captioned subject in 2 parts, the 3rd one being on its way.
Shri MSM has explained the prevailing situation for the benefit of all the pensioners in very clear terms. He on behalf of the HYD ASSN is very plain and honest to express his readiness to share infn. And make combined efforts and extended a genuine invitation to all the contenders for the balance of work which is very important. . It remains to be seen as to how the spokesmen on behalf of the other 5 petitioners would respond and reciprocate.
Shri MSM's sincere suggestion that all the parties to the further legal fight or course of action at the SC should seriously and conscienciously unite is the URGENT NEED OF THE HOUR. It is on record that the innumerable appeals, pleadings and advices of thousands of pensioners earlier for unity and unified efforts and action before the DHC in putting forth the arguments have fell on the deaf ears of all the parties barring the Hyd Assn which was in fact in its favour right from the beginning. It is now futile to lament upon whatever has happened till now or accusing anybody. I consider that the entire mass of the LIC Pensioners are very much in favour of the much desired UNIFIED ACTION even at this stage. I humbly solicit of all the case managers or the authorized representatives of the contesting petitioners to volunteer instantly losing no further time to open dialogue among themselves with the avowed purpose of forging unity to initiate unified action before the SC very shortly. The leaders should take their membership into confidence and the genera l members too have the responsibility of convincing their leaders for the much needed UNIFIED ACTION AT THE SUPREME COURT. I feel that now it is the responsibility of the members of the respective organizations to achieve this singular objective of unified action and that the leadership will plunge into positive action immediately. There is no time to be lost. Lakadiasical attitude on the part of any at this crucial juncture may prove disastrous !
I may recall that the SC has clearly stated in the concluding para of its judgment / order dt.31 Mar 2016 that " IT IS DESIRABLE THAT A SINGULAR JUDGMENT IS PASSED SO THAT THE VALIDITY OF THE SAME CAN BE ADJUDGED ". As and when the DHC pronounces its verdict, the scene automatically shifts to the SC. What urgent steps are needed to be initiated must be visualized before hand and there should be full and thorough and fool-proof preparation on behalf of the petitioners. The sum and substance of my concern through this post is that in deference to the offer of Shri MSM, all parties must immediately come forward to join hands to see that one and only one Sr.Advocate is engaged on behalf of all the 6 petitioners which will demonstrate to the powers-that-be that the pensioners are UNITED and are not a divided house and that they no longer tolerate the grave injustice heaped upon them all these years
Before concluding, I wish to congratulate Shri MSM for his honest offer to work for unity with open mind. Innumerable no. of pensioners -- members not only of Hyd Assn, but non-members, members of other organizations also have hailed the steps taken by the HYD ASSN right from the beginning up till now and the latest UNITY OFFER from Shri MSM eloquently speaks of his sincerity, eagerness with utmost transparency with the only objective of SECURING THE TWIN BENEFITS OF PENSION TO ALL THE PENSIONERS without any reservations..
Let all the leaders of all the organizations beware that even if a 100% pensioners-favoured judgment is awarded by the Hon'ble DHC, more strong and concerted efforts would be called for at the SC to clinch the final verdict in total and unqualified favour of the LIC PENSIONERS.
If the aspirations and appeals or prayers of the pensioners' community are secured and fulfilled by dint of the much craved UNIFIED ACTION, there will be no greater history for the 'retired working class'. It is a naked truth although quite unpalatable that the active and vociferous community of the in-service 'WORKING CLASS' have not expressed one word of supp ort or solidarity to the cause of the pensioners, not even sympathy even being fully conscious and aware that today's working employee is going to be tomorrow's pensioner !
I apologise for this unduly long post but It is conveyed with the honest intention of persuading the parties to the issue to do something positive and substantial keeping in view the welfare and well-being of all the LIC PENSIONERS. I take this opportunity to express my whole-hearted appreciation for the sacred and honest efforts of Shri MSM to enlighten the pensioners at large with an unrelenting missionary zeal, he has drawn out plans and programmes to visit number of places to meet the anxious pensioners and reinfuse confidence and hope of eventually winning the legal battle at the SC. His visit to Vizag on 14th March has been a good success with good no. of pensioners attending the meeting, he has visits to Bengaluru on 17th, Kolkata on 22nd and so on. May HIS MISSION SUCCEED with the DIVINE BLESSINGS !
Sincerely yours,
M.V.P.R. Prasad
