What and when next?   

Retired LIC Class I Officers’ Association Hyderabad 
        (Regd No 934 of 2014) files IA No 5 of 2014 before 
               the Hon’ble Supreme Court, with a limited objective.

I personally welcome this breather.  It should help all concerned to think coolly and decide what they can and wish to do to ensure common good for the entire community of beleaguered LIC Pensioners. Or at least decide what NOT TO DO which may 

A) delay the Final Hearing, 
B) give a new lever to LIC to continue its cruel game of procrastination and/or 
C) neutralize the advantage we got from the CAs having been listed for Final 
Hearing and fritter away a valuable opportunity to move forward, for any 
wrong reasons.

I have a crystal clear road map in my mind. Its success depends not on how clear my plan is to me but how acceptable it is to other players. Therefore I have no reservations in sharing, collaborating, or make mid-course modifications. Or completely back off if it helps the Pensioners as a whole. My Association now has a legitimate presence in the on-going proceedings before the Supreme Court.

Here is an open Appeal from the President of the Hyderabad Association: Let representative/s of the two giant Federations and of the Petitioners before P&H HC Chandigarh, converge at Delhi on 17^th and 18^th August. (And NOT on the eve of the Hearing date or just an hour before the Hearing itself). We can discuss and even agree on a Common Minimum Program. Share it then with our respective Counsel. If it is not possible for all the Counsel to meet or otherwise exchange views, I come to meet your counsel and I will take you to mine – to make sure that the CMP is adhered to.

Let’s leave all acrimony behind. There is no other way of serving the cause of our co-pensioners and helping ourselves.
