Chandigarh meeting


             Monthly meeting  of LIC (Retd.) Officers Association will be held at Hotel Classic at 11 AM on Sunday FIRST SEPTEMBER.  

Circular issued for the meeting states: "Today we, the pensioners are in a dilemma – on the one hand we recall with pride our 30/40 years long dedicated service to the Institution, on the other hand we are faced with a situation, rightly put forth by Sh. R.B.Kishore, VP, AIRIEF – “why LIC is denying justice to pensioners despite  3 victories in Rajasthan HC,Single Bench,Div.Bench & Review...
" Despite these victories, justice eludes us. It is apparent  LIC wants to prolong the legal battle. They have the luxury of spending huge amounts to engage battery of eminent lawyers  who advise LIC how to circumvent Court Orders.  Their tactics are to exhaust poor pensioners’ patience so that they start asking “for how long should we continue to contribute to the LEGAL FUND”. Friends, a soldier fights on the front till the last drop of his blood. We have so far won our case all through so why should we be impatient. Let us take OATH on the Anniversary Day of LIC that as we served the Organization  with full devotion; similarly, we will not allow paucity of funds to hamper legal battle come what may.  

  • In the special meeting held on 15th Aug., Sh.I.P. Puri, Jt. Secretary, AIRIEF has given a call for contribution of Rs.2000/- each. Spontaneously, members present in the meeting paid it and now our similar request is to ALL THE PENSIONERS. 
" We are in touch with the members of Panchkula Unit & met at the residence of Sh.S.N.Chhabra.  It has been decided to form a joint committee with Sh. I.P.Puri as Co-ordinator. It will seek further legal advice re: implications of 19th Aug, orders of the SC because LIC’s SLP has now been reduced to Civil Appeal while appeal for stay was rejected.
" Your participation in the meeting and your liberal contribution to the LEGAL FUND shall be appreciated. It is in our interest to defend the victories registered so far. "
