Sh TR Madhava Rao's analysis of Justice Bhandari's Historic judgement dated 12.1.2010 in a most chronicle way is 101% correct and all pensioners have hope and are sure that ultimately LIC will have to implement the SC/HC orders, in letter and spirit of LIC Board resolution dated 24.11.2001, which unequivocally spells out up- gradation & removal of DR anomaly; and as per Pb & Hry High Court verdict LIC has to pay interest of 12% p.a.for late payments also, and the benefit should go to all as per Delhi HC.
Whether LIC will be honest in their dealings with the retired employees will be known when they submit their affidavits in HC, Jaipur by 1.2.14? But pensioners have apprehensions from past experience and replies/ affidavits so far submitted by LIC which have apparently been full of false/ mischievous/ distorted/ twisted facts & figures. Even LIC is aware of these, but why they are not implementing and paying our dues is also known to all (and that is because of pressure from FM/GOI).
Expecting immediate justice despite all favourable verdicts & opinions will be too much. There are many-a-slip between the cup and the lip - a number of other similar cases filed in different High Courts, even after favourable Judgment of Rajasthan High Court Jaipur, can also be a tumbling block in early settlement by LIC; secondly some other negative forces also have been creating hurdles; and thirdly in built delays in the legal system always hurt us with dates after dates. But friends NO STAY...... orders of the Supreme Court will help in over riding all these hassles including pending appeals of LIC in SC which can never be of any help to LIC - still we have to continue the struggle till we achieve our goal.
In such a situation we have to have patience and faith in the Judiciary and in the capacity and capability of our Advocates,who have to be extra alert & forceful, and Sh Asthanaji.
Lets remain united and continue our moral as well as financial support to Sh.Asthana/AIRIEF. As usual we again eagerly pin our eyes and hopes on Jaipur expecting the Hon'ble Justice R S Chauhan of Rajasthan High Court to deliver a clear and purposeful verdict which will give us full justice on 6.2.14.
SAIED UNKA AAKHARI HO YEH SITTAM. (Perhaps it will be last torture/ordeal from the other side).
