4)TO REMIND READERS & ALL PENSIONERS FOR A CLEARER PICTURE,HERE IS WHAT Jaipur Single judge Hon Bhandari in his order dt 12/1/2010 observed :
“Learned counsel for petitioners has further submitted that there exists anomaly even in regard to the revision of the pay scale. The benefit of revision in the pay scale from time to time was not extended to the pensioners. In view of aforesaid, even an officer retiring in the higher pay scale started getting less pension than to the employee retiring subsequently in lower pay scale. Aforesaid aspect was also considered along with the first issue, by the Board in its meeting held on 24.11.2001
Hon’ble Rajasthan High Court has held that, on the basis of date of retirement, there cannot be any discrimination between the Pensioners interse. All pensioners are entitled to revision of pensions as and when pay scales are revised. The decision of the Board taken in its meeting dated 24/11/2001 but not implemented on account of misnomer of approval of the Central Government has been directed to be implemented with the above modifications.
5)Further, it is to be borne in mind that LIC itself ,in its SECRET letter dt 31/12/2001 to then Joint Secretary,MOF,Sri Ajit Sharan, secured under RTI & 11/8/2003, to MOF/UOI state clearly “there is an urgent need to rationalize the DR structure available to different groups of pensioners in order to reduce the administrative inconvenience & also to see that different generations of pensioners are protected by merging the pension to a suitable index. ” This clinches the issue of successive pension revisions with every wage revision.It has a vital bearing on continued pension upgradation. It stretches & goes beyond Board Resolution to capture full & continuous pension revision at CPI 600,1148,1740,2328,2994
This is the import & substance of Hon SJ Bhandaris judgement dt 12 /1/2010
6)It is in this context one feels bad if some Fedn goes to meet Finance Secretary & another writes to LIC Management to pay DR ONLY to pre-8/1997 retirees.If it is for securing twin benefits that UPI/MOF was approached, that augurs well Is this not bad tactics at this crucial stage when slowly & steadily we have been able to make mountain move forward to achieve our cherished goal of fulfilling the UMBRELLA Judgement of SJ Hon Bhandari on pension uparadation with Full DR to all pensioners
7)I am told by Sri Asthana that Rajasthan HC order is simple& straightforward about time given to Respondents upto 29 Nov 2013.Let us watch the developments with an open heart,WITHOUT INJURING ANYBODYS SENTIMENTS & NOT PUT SPOKES IN THE COURSE OF THE LONG & TORTUOUS LEGAL BATTLE
