Some different, practical thoughts...

 Dear Shri. Gangadharan,

Let me begin by lauding you for the consistent efforts 

made by you in keeping the pensioners posted with 

the uptodate developments with reference to our cases 

pending before the apex court. No doubt, the entire 

pensioners’ community might have been terribly 

disappointed by the unjustified stretching of the 

dates of hearing. 

We are all well aware that neither the listing nor 

hearing is following any logical steps or well 

established legal principles. But, we are left 

with no choice except to try all possible methods 

to expedite the hearing, provided such a thing is 

feasible. The other option open to us is to accept 

the inevitable and patiently wait for that good 

day when our cases will be taken up for hearing. 

Patience is the need of the hour. 

Let us not give any hope to the pensioners 

that we are bound to

get only a favourable decision from the Apex Court. 

I know of a few pensioners who are on the brink of a breakdown only thinking about the outcome of the cases. On the other hand, let us impress upon our pensioner friends that looking at the circumstances we have every reason to believe that we will win, the remote possibility that the verdict can go against us cannot be RULED OUT. That would be being more realistic and down to earth.

With best wishes and regards,

M.V. Venugopalan
