LEGAL BATTLE: CRUCIAL MONTHS AHEAD !


confusion...
I’m receiving anxious enquiries from LIC pensioners…
They all want to know
what’s  the present position of the petitions
pending in the High Court
and the Supreme Court.

I try to explain.  But all my pleadings are of no avail. 
Our pensioner-brethrens are all restless.
They want to have immediate result.  But no significant
result is forthcoming….

The latest position is this.

THERE IS A CONTEMPT PETITION PENDING IN RAJASTHAN HIGH COURT.
But, as long as the whole matter is pending in Supreme Court, we need not expect any significant development to take place in the High Court.


 

NEXT COMES THE CONTEMPT PETITION FILED IN THE SUPREME COURT.
It is understood, this contempt petition emanates from the fact that LIC has failed to deposit the amount Court had asked them to pay or deposit to the Court Registry.  The court itself will interpret its own orders in this matter.  Let us wait and see.

The all important legal battle will be waged in the Court in the case of Special Leave Petition filed by LIC.  It was last listed on 7th February 2012 and there are no further developments.

Let us wait patiently.  There will be clear developments in this matter within a couple of months.
