SPECIAL BENCH OR EXISTING BENCH RECONSTITUTED?

Dear Editor,

Every one of our LIC pensioner colleagues is indebted to your valuable services, rendered towards uplift of hapless mass in the same industry, by highlighting useful developments that are taking place in various organisations viz. Ex-Service men, RBI, Commercial Banks, working & retired employees of State & Central Govts, etc that have a bearing on our vital issues. 

It is unfortunate that a few gentlemen-retirees are utilizing your media for their short-sighted intentions and largely against the interest of their own fellow colleagues. We could not find such write-ups for some time past in your esteemed PC. Their wait must have disappointed them to some extent. 

It is amusing to find that leaders like M/s Asthanaji, Kishoreji, CHM and a few others have to come to the stage, once again, to explain the status of resolution passed and the observations of HCs & SC.  Doubts about the nature of formation of a Bench in SC on 13th, March have crept in. Are we interested in the style of reporting that a special court has been formed on 13th, next or in the outcome of hearing of our long pending cases on that day ?  

Yes, hearing is listed unusually on Friday, the 13th with the consent of Hon'ble justice Pant and the approval of Hon'ble Chief-Justice. It is upto our Experts to admit whether it is Special Court or an Ordinary One. The timing and the nature of doubts raised will certainly confuse our innocent brethren.  It may not be considered to be out-of-context to feel that such queries could, very well, be utilized against our causes by the opposite side. We hope, your goodself will think twice before allowing publication of any messages that may jeopardize the welfare of thousands of pensioners, family pensioners and people who are in lurch under the basis of gratis payment. Kindly give this your earnest and due consideration. 

With regards,
 M.P.Subrahmanian, RIEA, Madurai.
