The latest Circular issued by Federation of Retired LIC Class I Officers' Associations has given focus to the following points:-
1. It is not known when the SLPs in the Supreme Court will be listed.
2. By depositing meagre amount in two instalments, LIC has indirectly given an indication of what was envisaged by them in the resolution of 24-11-2001. Any alternative interpretation is left to the imagination of pensioners. Unfortunately in the SLPs before the Supreme Court the focus is heavily on the powers of the government under section 48 of LIC Act rather than on the genuine problems of pensioners.
3. After our transfer petition to get our writ petition on DR anomaly before Delhi and Kerala High Courts being transferred to Supreme Court itself was disposed off, we have been concentrating on bringing them up for final disposal early. Our Delhi HC writ petition is to come up in the normal course for hearing on 30th January 2013 and our Senior counsel has assured that he will press for final disposal. We learn that Kerala HC may also list the matter for final hearing shortly.
