Let's wait for the truth, nothing but the whole truth...

We wish to inform our readers that the news published on 3rd September about the Bank pensioners winning their case of 100% DR was not based on an authentic report. This 'source' did not have dependable details with him.  It appears this reader from Pune who had sent this piece of information (not 'report') was trying to have more details from LIC pensioners. The post we had published and withdrawn later is reproduced here.

We received some comments from the readers, now that a 'constitution' bench has also held that any cut off date is arbitrary, 100% DR neutralization is a certainty.  And so these readers visualised a possibility of GNS retiring. This resulted in a cartoon, also since withdrawn, reproduced here.

Plucking the easier ones... GNS was more practical in his approach.

We have now received a letter, reproduced below,

The above mail too appears to carry mistakes. 

Supreme Court site shows the present position of the case as follows:-
