ARE THE LIC PENSIONERS HELPLESS?

Nine Days to go

MY VIEW - POST NO 3.

No, we are not helpless. Each of us can do something. Some are actively working to prepare and update material for the case, provide inputs to and instruct the Advocates, many can join to build ‘public opinion’ on what could be done and what should not be done while ALL can pray.

I have been trying to canvas my views that Jaipur Petitioners should not become instrumental for delaying the hearing. When I say this, I am sure they DO NOT forego any of their rights to oppose the Appeals. They should clearly instruct their Senior Advocate to comply with the Court’s directions Vide the concluding part of the Order dated 08.04.2015 which said:

Apart from hearing this preliminary objection, we also intend to hear the case on merits. Learned counsel for the parties are requested to come prepared to argue the matter on 22nd April, 2015. (Now 7th May 2015)

Let LIC & UoI first argue their Appeals/SLPs. My appeal is being addressed to the leadership of AIRIEF & Federation of Retired Class I Officers Associations, to commit not only to their respective members but also to ALL Pensioners that they will endeavour to secure early disposal of the matters.
I wish to invite Pensioners’ attention to what Ella Wheeler said:      

To sin by silence, when we should protest, makes cowards out of men’’

LIC PENSIONERS – PLEASE SPEAK OUT
