Three favourable judgements have been handed down to us by the learned
judiciary. All the individuals and organisations involved in bringing
about these judgements, have toiled hard to achieve this for the sake of
pensioners. All pensioners have complete faith in those responsible for
these favourable judgements and no one suspects their honest intention
of doing good to all. It is unfortunate that LIC and GOI are dragging
their leg to straight away implement these judgements, which are the
result of detailed scrutiny, complete understanding and satisfaction of
the judiciary - three times reinforced.
The Supreme Court is set to consider on 12th November 2014, the three
appeals by LIC on these three judgments clubbed together. In my opinion,
the only way we can achieve our purpose of getting these favourable
judgements implemented, is that all the three contenders appearing from
our side on that day should have only one agenda - forcefully request
the SC to direct LIC to implement the three judgements forthwith as
enough water has flown under the bridge bringing untold misery to the
hapless pensioners of LIC in their advanced ages. Let our advocates not
go into any other matter but focus devotedly only on this point - we
want SC orders to get these judgements implemented forthwith.
All aspects of the matter stands thoroughly analysed, scrutinised and
decided by learned judges of three different High Courts over a
considerably lengthy period of time. It is time for the Apex Court to
give a decisive direction to LIC to honour these three conclusive
judgements forthwith and not to drag on the issue further. So let each
defendant stress on the issue of implementation of the respective
judgement instead of going into arguments on extraneous matters.
