It is a necessary requirement that the party moving a Special Leave Petition in the Supreme Court must submit to the order of the High Court first. Only then, the special petition will be taken up for consideration. A person sentenced jail imprisonment by High Court must report to jail authorities and submit to law before his petition against lower court is considered by Supreme Court.
It is for this reason that the Supreme Court ordered that the “amount due to the employees” (thereby meaning,’ Pensioners’) should be deposited in the Court.
It is reported that the Life Insurance Corporation of India has deposited Rs.4.35 lacs in the court. If LIC of India takes the stand that this is precisely the amount due to the pensioners/petitioners, it would sound a good legal argument that no further amount would be required to be deposited with the court .
