Dear Sir
I believe Mr Venugopalan is only echoing the constant
and hitherto unanswered questions ringing in the minds of our pensioners
at large.
My understanding of the matter is that our cases
though upheld by various HCs still needs more clarity in their
judgements. There are many grey areas in the matter and the first two
questions mentioned by Mr Venugopalan falls under this region.
Now
that the final hearing date is fast approaching I am afraid it would
be inappropriate at this stage to make any detailed discussions and
analysis in this column of our Cases and the technicalities relating
thereto. This may only be detrimental to our Cases which are fought
vigorously by the Case Managers and their Counsels in SC. Let us not
put any spokes in the works at this stage.
Let us fondly hope
that our Counsels could effectively
argue our cases in SC and rebut the opponents arguments to convince
the presiding Judges of the justness and reasonableness of our cases and
clinch victory for us.
May God help us.
