Your cartoon is well received
and some interesting aspects on
spiritual practices of the sanyasis
and seers are being discussed.
Your cartoon depicted only three gentlemen. what happened to the 4th one Mr. Muralidhar Gupta in C.A No. 9409-9410/2013.
Silence is golden and indicates Dhyanam. People who are engrossed in work are also silent. May be the Case Managers are contemplating or busy with their home work assigned by the Apex Court . The dead line is 6 weeks to file counter on the S.L.PS filed by the G.O.I, 4 weeks to file the counter affidavits and they have to submit additional Documents. So it is better to leave them with only an appeal to coordinate and cooperate amongst themselves so that the just cause of all the pensioners is presented forcefully to cool the minds and warm the hearts of the learned judges on the Bench to safe guard the legitimate interests of the pensioners.
Again our managers should vehemently and vociferously expose the double game played by the L.I.C and G.O.I combine to frustrate the aged pensioners. The preparations for September should be finished by 18th June. Let us all wish good luck and God Speed and unity of purpose in pursuing our case successfully.
Now the L.I.C has to abide by the order on payment
of the ad interim amount. But in the light of past experience at Jaipur
H.C we can not trust the L.I.C on the
correctness of the calculations. So it is important to work out on our own the
amount taking if necessary the help of
people well versed in the
calculations. I understand that the
Chandigarh H.C petitioners did some exercise in this regard. We should
not allow to leave the post Aug,97
petitioners at all the three H.Cs Jaipur, Chandigarh, and Delhi. Sri GNS is already on record to press for the
updation of pension. So we must prepare
the calculation sheets of the individual pensioners and submit it as Document in the Apex Court.
If need be we may seek permission to submit them by 31st Aug well before 23rd
Sept.This would checkmate L.I.C who make some random calculations. So Chandigarh
should take lead in this regard. Needless to say the basis for the calculations
should be the Board Resolution of 2001.
The ripple
effect argument of the G.O.I needs rebuttal. The recent wage settlement to the
State Govt. Employees of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh basing on which the
State Road Transport Employees of
both the states went on strike
demanding the parity in the hike of their salaries to ensure same
increase (43%) is a case in point. The
State Road Transport Corporartion is
running in heavy
losses. The passenger fare will be increased shortly in the light of this wage settlement.
Both the State Govts. have also issued
orders to update the pension of their
retired employees in view of the 43% wage hike to the State
Govt. employees. In the light of this
the L.I.C and the G.O.I are bound
by our pension rules to update our
pension.
I would like
to recall the argument of Mr. Anonymous
who maintained that the Govt. can raise the Taxes to pay updated pension to their retired employees. The burden of the
taxes is born by the public including
the L.I.C pensioners. So we pay for the
updated pension of retired govt
employees. How the G.O.I deprive the
L.I.C pensioners the updation
of pension, more so when L.I.C
Board passed the resolution in 2001. The G.O.I has no financial burden if the updation is allowed for
retirees of L.I.C. The financial standing
of L.I.C can easily
accommodate the pensioners. Come September success will be ours provided we have the
will to win.
