Dear All

Delhi High Court : 22/01/24 

WPCs 8095 & 9679/2016 GOP  V/s SBI & 1875/2013 FSBIPA V/s SBI,RBI & Union of India :our case was taken up . Bank counsel placed the status report affidavit of 19/01 . Thereafter submitted to the court that Bank is inclined to amend the pension regulations only when Petitioners accept the revised pension prospectively and agree to closure of case .Counsels appearing for GOP protested and said our prayer for pension updation and payment of pension with retrospective effect with interest still remain inconclusive. Mr Mishra appearing for FSBIPA Submitted that we don't know what respondents intend to do and implications of ' payment of pension prospectively which has two connotations! It may be for future Retirees or may be even past Retirees. Let the Government comply with the order of 07/11/23 of the previous bench of Hon'ble High Court first and if not satisfied have the legal right to challenge the order and case will not close unless prayer for retrospective effect not granted. Whatever since 1999  been done has not been in consonance of various sections of the SBI Act . Let this Hon'ble Court adjudicate . Hon'ble Court agreed and directed the respondents to first  issue the Gazette Notification and petitioners have the right to come back to the court with grievance if not satisfied and case continues. Hon'ble Court then asked the Govt Counsel how much time it needs to which he asked for 4 months but Court granted 8 weeks. Next date: 02/05/24
