Dear Mr.Gangadharan
This is with reference to Mr.C.H.Mahadevan's article
dated 12.07.2015 on List of members to be provided by The Federation of Retired Class I
Officers’ Associations (Especially the
last para of his letter reading as under
- "With Delhi High Court having pronounced its judgment making it applicable as in rem, the amounts payable will have to be paid to all similarly placed pensioners beyond the membership of the affiliated Associations of the Federation."
The SC order
dated 7th May 2015 is a Judgment in
rem. What applies to the Federation
will hold good for similarly placed (affected) pre August 1997
pensioners. It is not Class I alone who are affected. LIC may be aware of this. To avoid contempt on this issue and to
prolong the proceedings, it may be a ploy played by LIC to ask the list
from
the Federation.
If the Federation is not replying to LIC's request for
the list, it will be used as a reason for non compliance and to evade the
contempt charges.
I feel that the
Federation should reply to LIC stating that it (LIC) is having at its command all
data and resources to extract necessary details to comply with the SC interim
order. Mr.GNS is an experienced
practicing lawyer. I leave it to Mr.GNS with a request to ponder over this in the above perspective.
Thank you
