The court order says:
" As an ad-interim measure, it is directed that the petitioner-Corporation shall release 20% of the amount as per the impugned judgments pertaining to the High Court, in favour of the respondent-employees within six weeks hence, subject to final result in the appeals."
This is used for withdrawing 20% of the amount deposited in the High Court and payment to be made to them rest of the amount has to be paid by LIC. This has further complications, first of all the amount has been deposited in respect of DA/DR anomaly in which SLP I am the sole Respondent employee, the other Respondents are in the writ petition of updation of pensions but incorrect amount has been deposited, further there are 27 respondents out of which the amount has been deposited only for 20 and not 7 employees who had retired after 1/8/1997, which means they are admitted to be covered for updation of pension writ petition and furthermore judgment of Raj HC does not say it is applicable to only the Petitioners but to all pensioners and there is no stay on that judgment either earlier or even now refused. All these complications will arise therefore, we should wait and see how the LIC acts on this order. Noncompliance will entail contempt of court.
However, I request you to kindly advise persons there or you know that they should not run to receive the payment and give acknowledgement, but the receipt should be "subject to final decision of SLP" as has been ordered and also call for the detailed calculations and the receipt should also be subject to checking of such calculation sheet". People are naturally hungry for receipt of money but they should be cautious and should not admit this payment as final payment.
