The anxiety of an 81 year old pensioner

It is not that what I am writing is not known to our legal pundits nor should I be misunderstood for being over anxious. As the D Day is not far away, pensioners in the twilight of their life harbor many doubts in their mind, the foremost being that should the Apex court disposing the tied up cases give a verdict in favor of the petitioners, will LIC as they did in Asthana’s CCP pay the benefits only to the petitioners who contested. Should a situation like this accidentally or otherwise arise in the proceedings when the Bench sits, our learned counsels should take care of the situation.

I stroll into the Delhi HC judgment, the operative part of it says : SLP dismissed on  8-8-2013. So LIC has to give the benefit of the view taken by the Rajasthan HC to ALL PENSIONERS and would treat the decision in rem. There is no stay in the Delhi HC order dated 30-1-2013.

It has to be seen now the Apex court gives the direction with regard to the implementation of their judgment and we hope that this time it will be clear and precise without giving scope for any further clarification. We have waited for long and let there be no more suspense.

Wishing my fellow pensioners best of luck and May God be with them
