IT IS A HARD FACT THAT LIC MANAGEMENT INCLUDING THE CHAIRMAN, MD, EDs ALL ARE FULLY AWARE OF OUR RIGHT & LEGAL DEMANDS OF UP GRADATION OF PENSION AND REMOVAL OF DA ANOMALY, WHICH HAVE BEEN UPHELD BY THE DIFFERENT HIGH COURTS.
THEN THE QUESTION ARISES AS TO WHY LIC IS HESITANT TO RELEASE OUR JUST DUES BUT PLAYING TRUANT? THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE.
THAT IS - THERE IS NO GREEN SIGNAL FROM THE GOVT OF INDIA/FM WHO HAVE ALREADY FILED SLPs IN SC, AND NECESSARY NOTICES ARE BEING ISSUED TO THE PETITIONERS ALSO, AND LIC IS FULLY AWARE OF IT. THEN WHAT FOR CLARIFICATIONS - MAY BE, AS INSTRUCTED BY FM/GOI, TO DELAY IMPLEMENTATION OF SC ORDERS IN LETTER AND SPIRIT !
UNDER SUCH A SCENARIO, WE PENSIONERS FEEL IT IS GOING TO TAKE MORE TIME IN DELIVERY OF JUSTICE, AND WE ALL, WITHOUT LOSING HEART, HAVE TO CONTINUE THE LEGAL FIGHT BY EXTENDING FULL SUPPORT TO AIRIEF AND SH KML ASTHANA THE CRUSADER WHO GOT US THE HISTORIC JAIPUR JUDGEMENT ON WHICH THE JUDGMENTS OF P & H HIGH COURT AND DELHI HC ARE ALSO BASED, WITH ADDED ORDER OF 12% INTEREST BY P&H HC AND "IN REM" BY DELHI HC.
FRIENDS, WHEN THE FACTUAL FATE OF OUR CASE IS AS ABOVE, MANY VIEWS BY MANY OF OUR MOST LEARNED FRIENDS AND LEADERS ON WHAT LIC IS EXPECTED TO DO ON SUPREME COURTS ORDERS OF MAY 7TH, AND THE MEETINGS SOME OF THE EMPLOYEES ORGANISATIONS AND PENSIONERS ASSOCIATIONS HAD WITH LIC, THOUGH EXHIBIT THEIR CONCERN ON PENSIONERS DEMANDS, BUT ARE MORE OF CONVICTION AND SOME HAVE PREDICTED THAT LIC WILL SEEK CLARIFICATIONS ON SOME ISSUES AS IF THEY ARE PART OF THE LIC MANAGEMENT OR AS IF LIC IS UNAWARE OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES.
IT IS TIME TO WAIT AND WATCH WHAT ACTION LIC TAKES AND THEN MOVE ACCORDINGLY. NEED OF THE HOUR IS UNITY FOR THE COMMON CAUSE. ULTIMATELY TRUTH WILL TRIUMPH.
