The concerns expressed by Shri Sreenivasa Murty are genuine and well founded. I really appreciate his far reaching views and outlook.
- Going by the track record of LIC in dealing with the HC/SC Judgements in the past, there is every possibility that LIC Top Management ably abetted by the MOF/GOI Babus will care a fig about SC Order of dismissal of their Appeals and try to interpret the consequential benefits arising out the dismissal in the narrowest way possible to the maximum disadvantage of the pensioners.
If this situation has to be avoided, our Counsels should seek and request/pray the Judges to issue a SPEAKING ORDER leaving no room for any body, more so for LIC to interpret it in its own way to deny the benefits to the gullible Pensioners. As Mr Murty rightly mentioned, Simple Dismissal of LIC Appeals certainly will not take us anywhere.
So our Counsels have to properly briefed by our Case Managers for the dire need of obtaining not only an order of dismissal of LIC Appeals but also confer upon the pensioners the benefits demanded by them in UNAMBIGUOUS TERMS AND ORDERS which leaves no room for a different interpretations by any body.
