LIC PENSIONERS CHRONICLE

 

The Petitions filed by the Federation of Retired LIC Class I Officers Associations seeking transfer of pending writ petitions in Delhi and Kerala High Courts came up as scheduled in Supreme Court.  The Hon'ble Judge started with the remarks that since cases have been pending for more than 10 to 12 years in the Supreme Court itself, the Court would not like to disturb the schedule of the High Courts in the matter of disposal of petitions pending before them.

It was argued on behalf of the petitioners that the same issue of implementation of LIC's Board Resolution is involved both in the WPs and the SLPs pending before the Supreme Court.  The likely beneficiaries are now already in the age group of 74-80.

During the course of arguments, a point arose on other options available  but on behalf of the petitioners it was mentioned that they can only seek implementation in the pending SLPs.

Filing of transfer petitions was part of continuing organizational efforts to bring early relief to the pensioners and efforts in this connection will continue, it is assured.
