Dear Editor,
This refers to High court circular in the matter of giving precedence to cases wherein one of the parties has crossed 65 years of age. The said circular was
reproduced in the Blog under the caption "We can approach Chief justice of India".
It is pertinent to note that the said circular was dated 7-8-1996. 17 years have expired and I don't think any High court was serious in implementing the circular.
This I think is another hog wash like the National litigation policy which is lying in the cold storage.
However I am with those who suggested that we should approach Chief justice in the matter and in this Federation and AIRIEF should expedite action.
There could be a request for preponing those adjourned cases and decided before the court goes on vacation and at the same time highlighting the deaths that have taken so far and the average age of the Pensioners who are affected by the delay.
