Sub: Our decisions at
the Delhi Meeting on 26/5/2017
The meeting of
Office-bearers and Legal Committee members of the Federation was held with our
President Shri NP Bali in the Chair, as scheduled at Delhi on Friday, the 26th
May 2017.
Earlier a team of our
sister entity AIRIEF comprising of their President, Shri S Saxena, General
Secretary Shri GS Krishnaswamy, their other leader and Petitioner at Jaipur,
Shri KML Asthana and a host of their activists were with us for detailed
discussion on the modalities of coordinating our action on the course of
further steps to be imitated over the Judgement of DHC. It was conveyed to us
their organization will file SLP in preference to Review Petition. After mutual
exchange of views, it was decided that in view of procedural necessity of each
Petitioner filing separate SLPs (individually), we shall proceed with that part
of action first, at an appropriate near future.
We will exchange notes so that cohesive steps are taken in the conduct
of the cases. With regard to engaging a common senior counsel, which involve
issues like choice and cost, it will be considered at the appropriate time.
It was suggested that
Shri GN Sridharan discusses with AIIPA similarly on the issue.
Thereafter, our
meeting commenced. After threadbare discussion on all connected matters, the
following decisions were taken unanimously.
1. We shall file an SLP in the Supreme Court
against the verdict of DHC immediately after re-opening of the Court after vacation
on 3/7/2017. The first thing that was decided after members expressed their
view that Review Petition is not called for;
2. We shall co-ordinate our course of action
with peer organizations except Hyderabad Assn who is welcome back into our fold. Shri Subir Mazumdar the Joint Secretary (based
at Kolkata) will take necessary steps in that behalf;
3. We shall apart from pursuing matters at
judiciary, explore the possibilities of other modes of settlement of our issues.
Shri OP Vashist is authorized to take necessary initiatives on this with the
guidance of the General Secretary.;
4. A Legal Notice will be sent to LIC of India
calling upon them to immediately extend the benefit of re-fixation of pension
for the retirees of 1992-93, based on the decision in the MC Jain case at the
Apex Court. Appropriate further action
will follow on the response to the Notice.;
5. In order to meet the immediate need for
pursuing action in Supreme Court, our finance will be augmented with
contribution from our members. A letter in this behalf addressed to the Units will
from General Secretary in a few days.
The meeting concluded
with a vote of thanks to Delhi Association who had made all arrangements for
the meeting at the short notice.
