Dear Comrades,
Sub: M C SINGLA CASE FOR UPDATION OF PENSION - PENDING IN HON'BLE SUPREME COURT AND LISTED FOR HEARING ON 22.07.2026
We wish to advise our affiliates and members that the above case has been part-heard by the Hon'ble Bench of Supreme Court and has been listed for final hearing on 22nd July, 2026.
In the meantime, there has been some development as the Hon'ble Supreme Court is scheduled to conduct National Lok Adalat in the month of August 2026. M C Singla case had been identified to be placed before the said National Lok Adalat by the Hon'ble Court. Accordingly, the Notices were sent to the Original Petitioners. Out of Seven Petitioners who filed the case before the Hon’ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh, Shri M C SinglaJi and other two have left for their heavenly abode.
However, regarding the other Petitioners, we requested Com Nand Kishore JamdagniJi, General Secretary, All India Punjab National Bank Retired Officers Association to coordinate with the remaining Petitioners, Shri O P KhuranaJi, Shri K S RathiJi, Shri B D SharmaJi and Shri M S SidhuJi and guide them to get their “NO CONSENT” for participation in the proposed National Lok Adalat recorded in the Books of the Designated Coordinating Agency viz., District Legal Services Authority, District Court, Sector 43, Chandigarh, as our case is already part-heard and scheduled for final hearing on 22nd July 2026.
We are pleased to advise that Shri JamadagniJi and his team of Office Bearers at Chandigarh contacted them and got the 'No Consent' of the Petitioners recorded in the books of the designated authority at its Chandigarh Office today i.e. 12.06.2026. There will thus be no participation from the above Petitioners in the National Lok Adalat in the month of August 2026.
We are eagerly waiting with a hope that our case - M C Singla vs Union of India will come up for hearing on 22.07.2026 as scheduled.
We shall keep you posted of the developments from time to time.
With best wishes and regards,
Comradely yours,

(Contd) Winters, Joshua (2026-05-27) Salt Across Empire: Great Hedge of India and colonial taxation under British rule . epubl: Construction and purpose of the Great Hedge The Great Hedge of India, stretching across the landscape, was a formidable barrier constructed from dense, thorny bushes. Conceived under the British Raj, its primary purpose was to delineate the boundaries of the salt tax zone, effectively controlling the movement of this vital resource. Built over several years, the hedge symbolized the British intent to exert dominance over local economies and ensure compliance with colonial tax policies. This physical structure served as a constant reminder of the imperial presence in everyday life. Its construction involved not only natural materials but also the deployment of labor, showcasing the bureaucratic machinery that supported British rule. The hedge was designed to restrict access and enforce taxation on salt, which was crucial for preserving food and therefore for survival. By controlling salt production and trade, the British enforced their economic interests, turning a simple mineral into an instrument of revenue and control. How the hedge restricted movement and commerce The Great Hedge of India functioned as a physical barrier that severely restricted the movement of goods and people. By blocking the pathways used by local traders and villagers, it disrupted traditional trade routes and commerce. The hedge enforced a strict division, where movement across its boundaries required permits and the payment of taxes. This policy not only complicated daily life but also exerted financial strain on local economies. The enforcement of these trade restrictions led to significant consequences for local communities. Many traders found their livelihoods threatened, as they could no longer transport salt without penalty. The inability to move freely resulted in the stifling of local commerce, promoting a culture of fear and compliance as villagers navigated the complexities of imperial regulation. Ultimately, the Great Hedge reshaped economic relationships, placing British interests above the sustainable practices of local trade.
