ARE THE LIC PENSIONERS HELPLESS ?

All of us have one common aim – DR anomaly removal & Pension up-gradation with each wage revision. We know it has to come through the Supreme Court only. We also want it to be decided soon, i.e., before the Supreme Court closes for its summer vacation.

Is there anything we can do about it (apart from our Prayers)?

YES. We should appeal to our case managers to work in that direction. They on their part should ‘instruct’ their Counsel to let the Appeals be argued by LIC & UoI first (as is normal) and to plead with the Bench on 7th May 2015, to decide this matter before vacation, by offering our cooperation.

The Respondents’ groups have every right to follow their own strategy and oppose the Appeals on any and every ground including ‘maintainability’. For Pensioners’ sake, they should wait for their turn. Instead of LIC & UoI indulging in filibuster, why are we adopting it?

LET US ACT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
