CASE MANAGERS

Dear Editor,

Let me congratulate you first on your very good initiative of arranging a meeting of three case managers/advocates at Delhi on 7th April. I wish you a grand success as it will be a real victory of entire L.I.C. Pensioners Community thereby ensuring us a sure Win at Supreme Court.

I remember that you took similar step in last October for arranging such meeting at Banglore.

But I cannot conceal my reservations about one of three case managers who considers himself as most important one and chief architect of legal battle to get rid of his arrogance, 'Know All' attitude and so many hidden agendas.

With a very heavy heart, I have read a few disturbing things today morning on your blog in context of proposed meeting from Sh. Asthana regarding Sh. Murty that he does not see him as a case manager for Chandigarh high court verdict. Let me mention a few things in this regard and hope every one except Sh. Asthana will see some merit in my statement.

  1. Chandigarh High Court Case was initiated by late Sh. M.L.Gandhi from Panchkula being AIRIEF All India Vice President also from Northern Zone. An independent unit at Panchkula was also created by late Sh. Gandhi just few days before his sad demise in December 2010 and Panchkula AIRIEF Unit was carved out of AIRIEF Unit Chandigarh. Sh.S.N. Chhabra from Panchkula also being a petitioner along with Sh.Gandhi took over as Secretary AIRIEF Panchkula Unit and started looking after this legal case after unfortunate death of Sh. M.L.Gandhi. Next, Panchkula AIRIEF Unit in April 2014 authorised Sh. Sreenivasa Murty from Hyderabad to work as our Case Manager and he happily acceded to our request. We informed then AIRIEF top leadership in this regard.
  2. During last G.C. of AIRIEF held at Banglore, Sh. Murty was invited as a Guest and since Sh. Asthana could not attend said G.C. so Sh. Murty was requested by AIRIEF President to brief delegates and G.C about an item on agenda - Review of Legal Case.
  3. Sh. Murty was also our chief guest during 4th Anniversary Celebrations Meeting of AIRIEF Panchkula Unit held here on 14.12.2014 attended by both Secretary/President of AIRIEF Chandigarh Unit
  4. Sh. S.N. Chhabra being 83 years old and not keeping good health is not in a position to travel quite frequently to Delhi. Again, Panchkula Unit has its complete Trust in competence of Sh. Murty to perform the role of our case manager. I am not attending Supreme Court being a recent retiree and also not being a petitioner. To say that nobody from Panchkula was there does not mean any thing when our case manager is always at his best during each court proceeding
  5. Even top AIRIEF leadership recognises Sh. Murty as a very capable case manager for chandigarh high court verdict. Questioning Sh. Murty as our case manager at this stage by Sh. Asthana clearly proves two things. First his malafide intentions and second that he happens to be much bigger than our common organisation AIRIEF as well as its top leadership.
