THANK YOU FOR REMINDING THE PENSIONERS ABOUT THE HISTORIC IMPORTANCE OF 12TH JANUARY, 2010 WHEN JUSTICE BHANDARI DELIVERED HIS JUDGEMENT AFTER ABOUT 12 LONG YEARS OF RELENTLESS FIGHT BY SH. ASTHANA.
THE JUDGEMENT NEEDS TO BE READ AND REREAD SO THAT ALL THOSE WHO ARE SPLITTING HAIRS AT THE 'so called shrtcomings in this more than elaborate judgement' SHOULD ADOPT A PRAGMATIC APPROACH AND NOT BE GUIDED BY SOME PAID ADVOCATES OF LIC WHO ARE OUT TO CREATE CONFUSION AMONGST THE PENSIONERS. THAT 12TH JANUARY, 2010 JUDGEMENT BECAME THE BASIS FOR JUDGEMENTS AT CHANDIGARH AND DELHI, UPHELD BY THE DIVISION BENCH JAIPUR, CAUSED DISMISSAL OF REVIEW PETITION AT JAIPUR H/C AND THEN BOTH THE SLPS WERE DISMISSED - THOUGH CONVERTED INTO CIVIL WRITS AFTER CONDONING 847 DAYS DELAY, YET NO STAY GRANTED (UNFORTUNATELY MANEUVERING BY HIGH PROFILE ADVOCATES OF LIC WAS APPARENT ) OTHERWISE OUR CASE HAD BEEN DECIDED ON THE SAME DATE.
SO LET US CELEBRATE 12TH JANUARY AS 5TH GRAND ANNIVERSARY OF OUR VICTORY WHEN THE FOUNDATION AND RAY OF HOPE FOR JUSTICE BECAME VISIBLE.....IT IS APPARENT THAT THE JUDGEMENT IS STILL OPERATIVE AFTER GOING THROUGH ALL THE TESTS AND SCRUTINY AT VARIOUS COURTS INCLUDING THE APEX COURT. AND THE FINALITY OF THE JUDGEMENT HAS NOWHERE BEEN PUT UNDER SCANNER BY ALL THESE COURTS SO WHY SHOULD WE BE PESSIMISTIC AND LEAVE HOPE.
ON THE GRAND FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF SH. BHANDARI'S JUDGEMENT, LET US REJOICE (despite being dubbed as 'cheerleaders).
HEARTIEST CONGRATULATIONS AIRIEF, SH. ASTHANA AND ALL THOSE WHO HAVE CONSTANTLY BEEN GIVING MORAL AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO THE AIRIEF FOR THIS COMMON CAUSE AFTER WAITING FOR THE 16TH JANUARY DEVELOPMENTS IF STILL THE CASE IS TO BE PURSUED THE PENSIONERS SHOULD AGAIN GIVE A BEFITTING RESPONSE TO ANY CALL FOR LEGAL FUND FROM THE FEDERATION AS AND WHEN RECEIVED. FROM CHANDIGARH WE HAVE SENT RS. 50,000 TO THE FEDERATION AND WILL SEND ANOTHER INSTALMENT ALSO.
