Food subsidy


24 Jun 15, 04:36 PM

k.bhaktavatsala rao: FOOD SUBSIDY Cartoon is only taken as cartoon. Nobody needs to feel hurt. When the Government/judiciary/managements act indifferently against common people/employees definitely such cartoons should be displayed.

24 Jun 15, 06:15 PM

B.R.Mehta: Let us not focus on what LIC Working employees are getting. Let us say is it fair that a retired ED 20 years ago getting lesser pension than a clerk retiring today.


A question of exception...


24 Jun 15, 02:59 PM

P.N.Nagaraju Retd DZM: Dear Editor, After observing the Cartoon published" I am of the opinion that I am a poor LIC employee getting meals coupon and news paper allowance " is not in good taste. They have got some fringe benefits after a period of many years. When some of our own brothers get a benefit we should not worry or make comments which will hurt their feelings.

(When Members of Parliament get some 'fringe benefits', we should not have any grouse against them. Every Indian doesn't become a President, a Prime Minister or a Member of Parliament. When we discuss OROP, we certainly say the defence veterans deserve to be treated well because of the services rendered by them for the country. There may be aberrations, but people who do public service by and large do a devoted job and they deserve to be treated well. They don't remain a Parliament Member throughout their life.-Ed.) 

FOOD SUBSIDY

Benefits of being a MP

While cheap food available at Parliament canteen is nothing new, when according to UN hunger list, India is home to the highest number of hungry people in the world at 194 million surpassing even China an RTI, reply reveals the subsidy the canteen enjoys :

Total subsidy the canteen got in the last 5 years      : 60.7 crores
Amount of subsidy in vegetable dishes                    : 90%
Amount of subsidy in Non-Veg dishes                    : 66 %

A quick look at price chart !! :

Fish fried with chips : RS 25
Mutton cutlet           :  RS 18
Boiled vegetables      : RS  5
Mutton curry with bones : RS 20
Masala Dosa                    : RS 6

These are the people who talk about national economy and when coming to giving OROP to the defense personnel they soft pedal

My response to the queries of Mr B R Mehta is follows:


Q 1. L.I.C did not deposit the correct amount in Jaipur High Court despite a clear direction by Supreme Court and best possible efforts by Sh KML Asthana could not change LIC's faulty calculations and hence nothing concrete happened in this regard. Will it have any impact upon contempt proceedings still going on at Chandigarh High Court?

A. The contempt proceedings going on at Chandigarh High Court has nothing to do with what happened at Jaipur. The Court can be expected to examine the contempt charge strictly with reference to the implementation of its own order and based on the materials produced before it by the petitioners and not be influenced by the facts and circumstances in any other case decided by another High Court. The similarity of the issues before two different High Courts need not necessarily lead to identical outcomes. So Jaipur outcome in the contempt proceedings will not impact Chandigarh outcome per se.

Q 2.My next query is whether dismissal of Contempt Petition against LIC at Jaipur High Court can have any impact upon contempt proceedings at Chandigarh High Court?

A. I do not think so. It should be remembered that the Contempt Petition at Jaipur was dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to the petitioner to seek clarification from the same court. It was not dismissed on merits. So there is no question of its impact on Chandigarh HC proceedings.

The above replies to the queries are not legal opinions, but only my personal views and based on what I consider logic and common sense.

Greetings.

The Views


The views expressed by Shri J.M.Aboobuckerji are worth pondering.

Shri Aboobuckerji is hundred percent right in his observation in his write-up "Dishonouring of the SC order by LIC" ( LIC PC : 22-06-2015 ). 


Contempt of court petition may drag on for months to the detriment of the pensioners, very senior pensioners, in particular. 

The pensioners have had bad experience in the past having fought a contempt case at the Rajasthan High Court, Jaipur Bench. May be the pensioners were victim of circumstances.

The best option is to await for the final judgement of three tagged cases at the Supreme Court as pleaded by Shri Aboobuckerji. 

His write- up may be read again to appreciate and to understand the obvious truth, the naked truth.

My Queries in Response to Sh. C.H. Mahadevan's Post


Dear Editor,

Let me first say my Thanks to Sh. C.H. Mahadevan for providing us an opportunity today morning to know his views about a detailed review of whole scenario being faced by LIC Pensioners right now. Hope all concerned at the top layer handling current legal battle listen to him and act as per ideas mentioned in this post.
I just have two small queries from Sh. Mahadeven in this context.

Chandigarh and Delhi High Court Verdicts are based upon Jaipur High Verdict dated 12.01.2010 by Justice Bhandari.
  1. L.I.C did not deposit Correct amount in Jaipur High Court despite a clear direction by Supreme Court and best possible efforts by Sh KML Asthana could not change LIC's faulty calculations and hence nothing concrete happened in this regard. Will it have any impact upon contempt proceedings still going on at Chandigarh High Court ? 
  2. My next query is whether dismissal of Contempt Petition against LIC at Jaipur High Court can have any impact upon contempt proceedings at Chandigarh High Court ?

Scared !

The Angst of a Soldier: Five lessons I learnt from the One Rank One Pension standoff;

COLONEL R HARIHARAN Sunday, June 21, 2015


CHENNAI: The long struggle by about 20 lakh military veterans for One Rank One Pension has again reached a dead end. This article is not about OROP per se but what I as a retired army officer have learnt in the process of the struggle:

1. Governments cannot be trusted to deliver on its promises. This is a lesson the “aam janata” (common man) learnt long ago. But soldiers both in and out of uniform have been brought up in the traditional but naive belief that the government is the “mai baap” to look after them. This covenant has been broken perhaps irrevocably. Even if the government now implements the OROP tailored to suit its convenience, I doubt whether it will ever regain the unique position it occupied in the soldier’s mind. Now every government order runs the risk of being suspect, probably for the right reasons. This deficit of trust can be bridged only when the government makes the armed forces part of the decision making process in matters relating to national security. But this, many of us believe, will not happen in a country that has kept the armed forces for over six decades of independence. That is why Prime Minister Modi’s “Man ki baat” on OROP cut no ice with the veterans.

2. Court rulings in favour of the soldier remain meaningless. The government has not complied with a number of Supreme Court judgements on granting of OROP. Who will enforce these rulings if the government stubbornly refuses to do so? Politicians twist the law in their own interest. If there is any doubt look at the Lalit Modi case where politicians of all hues managed to keep him away from the long arm of the law.

3. Civil society exists for a select few. Despite the veterans raising a lot of noise and the media going on high octave on OROP issue, there is deafening silence from civil society. The plight of the disabled soldier or his widow living in abject poverty because they have not been paid their dues does not move them. Their hearts bleed only for select few: an extremist shot dead “to protect the public” or animals tested in laboratories.

4. Agitation is the only way. Actually it has taken 40 years for OROP - an issue that veterans consider as gross injustice - to get noticed by the nation. That shows veterans are placed very low, probably just above the visually handicapped, in the nation’s priority list. The nation started noticing the issue only when veterans used the electoral bandwagon to extract promises from political parties. But it has not worked. So the agitation has to continue.

5. Command is going to be difficult within the armed forces. When the covenant of trust is broken at the top it will have an adverse fall out. It will impact on the armed forces’ command and control setup from the top to the unit level at the bottom. As it is the pernicious social ills of caste, political animosities, inequality, absence of equitable justice have made unit command a delicate task over time. It could become more difficult now.

I know these are cynical lessons. After spending three decades of the best part of my life in the Army perhaps the country has managed to turn me into a cynic.

The worm has turned. That is Bharat Mahan for you! Jai Hind!

Sheer arrogance


21 Jun 15, 03:39 PM

J.M. Aboobucker: What a pity. The Mighty Financial Institution of India, the LIC says to comply with the SC Order the money has to be obtained from the Jaipur and Chandigarh HCs where they have deposited ₹19 lakhs and ₹33 lakhs respectively for the 19 pre 1997 retiree petitioners of Jaipur HC and for 33 petitioners of Chandigarh. 

The total outlay for this payment of 20% interim relief to the petitioners will according to LIC BE ₹ 10,40,000 because LIC cannot afford to pay this "Huge" sum without getting the refund from the HCs. Is this not sheer arrogance of LIC towards its erstwhile employees now called pensioners.

BLATANT CONTEMPT




It is reported by the General Secretary of the LIC Class I Federation that they could gather in  their meeting  that a final decision by LIC  on implementation of  the SC order will be taken very soon though the time frame for giving effect to the same was not spelt out.

What do we make of it? The Supreme Court has clearly specified a time frame of 6 weeks for implementation of its order dated 7/5/2015 by LIC and LIC has reportedly  arrogated to itself the discretion to decide its own time frame at its convenience for complying with the SC Order without any semblance of move to seek the permission of the Apex Court to do so.

If this is not blatant contempt of court, what is?

Greetings.

LIC's COMPLIANCE WITH SC ORDER DT 7/5/2015‏

DEAR ALL,

I summarise hereunder the latest position on  LIC ‘s compliance( or failure to comply) with Supreme Court’s interim order dt 7/5/2015  as per message gathered by Mr R B Kishore from Jaipur DO I  & Chandigarh D O (as conveyed in his emails)

JAIPUR PETITIONERS
  • Jaipur DO will pay 20% of the amounts deposited earlier in respect of 19 petitioners only.
  • The amount deposited was approximately Rs 19 lacs,(actual amount deposited was Rs 19,63,638).
  • The amount has not yet been paid. LIC will make an application after the HC reopens on 29 June 2015.
  • After receiving the amount, they will pay to these 19 petitioners, 20% in the same proportion in which original amount was deposited.  
CHANDIGARH PETITIONERS
  • As petitioners had raised objections to the LIC’s calculations, LIC Chandigarh DO has made a reference to LIC CO Personnel department. They have not received the reply. Follow up is being done.
  • There are 31 petitioners and the amount deposited was Rs 33,67,838
  • As contempt case is listed for hearing in HC on 20/7/2015, Central Office Personnel department is being reminded and the DO will act as per CO instructions. 
DELHI PETITIONERS
  • As per legal opinion obtained by Central Office, clarification/s will be sought  from the Supreme Court after its reopening in July 2015 after the summer vacation.
INDICATIONS FROM THE ABOVE:
  • The inadequacy of the amount will be maintained by LIC even in payment of interim relief.
  •   20% of ‘due amount’ will not be paid to respondent-employees(petitioners),as there will  be no removal of DR anomaly before 1/8/1997, no upgradation of pension, and freezing of the amount upto  October 2013 in case of Jaipur and upto April 2014 in case of Chandigarh denying even the faulty(inadequate) dues for further period upto May 2015.
  • There will be no interim relief for post July 1997 retiree-petitioners at Jaipur( All petitioners in Chandigarh are pre- August 1997 retirees).
  • Technically there will be recovery of 20 % of the total recoveries in respect of family pensioners adjusted while making payment in the HC registries. Ironically this will be interim relief in reverse provided to the Corporation by the already distressed  family pensioners of petitioners!
LOOKING AHEAD

The three sets of petitioners  have a definitely strong option to file a contempt petition against LIC for non-compliance with SC’s order dt 7/5/2015.While being fully prepared to exercise that option, as and when LIC approaches the Supreme Court for clarifications, the petitioners will get an opportunity to make their submissions in response to LIC’s prayers. The petitioners then have to seek a modification of the SC interim order spelling out clearly how LIC will have to determine and pay the interim relief. The order dt 7/5/2015 seems to have been taken advantage of LIC as a certificate for LIC having deposited the correct amount in the HC registries at Jaipur & Chandigarh which is not the case.

MAY THE PETITIONERS IN THE CASES UNITE!

With greetings,

C H Mahadevan

PAYMENT OF INTERIM RELIEF AS PER SC ORDER DATED 7TH MAY 2015


Dear Editor,

Just now I got an email from  Sh. R.B. Kishore informing outcome of his tele-talks today morning with Managers ( Legal ) at Jaipur-1 and Chandigarh regarding latest position of compliance of supreme court order dated 7th May, 2015.

As a further follow up, I also talked to Manager (Legal) DO Chandigarh and as per my limited understanding and interpretation, I am giving below my version of latest position.

  • Legal advice by LIC advocate here and being followed by them is that since a copy of supreme court order dated 7th May has already been submitted to High Court during last hearing of contempt case on 21st May and since the opposite party has challenged calculations of amount deposited by LIC so we have to wait for further directions in this regard from high court during next hearing date on 20th July 

I again repeat that this is my limited view after my telephonic talk only.


Regards,
B.R.Mehta

RB KISHORE WRITES

Mgr Legal Sri AKSen rang me up. He informed that Jaipur DO will pay to the petitioners 20 % of amount deposited earlier. When I enquired the numbers,he told me 19 petitioners only. I told him then they are leaving out the remaining petitioners. He said earlier also, only for 19, amount was deposited

2. When I asked him,what amount was deposited, he said app Rs19 lacs.


3. I enquired whether they have already paid, he said No, He added they will make an Application after the HC opens on 29 June 2015

4. After receiving the amount, they will pay to these 19 petitioners, 20% in the same proportion in which original amount was deposited. 



As per the SC order, LIC is required to pay 20% of the amount due to the respondent-pensioners as per the impugned judgments of the three High Courts.

If LIC has given instructions to LIC Chandigarh & Jaipur DOs to release 20% of the amount earlier deposited in Court Registry, it would mean that the DOs have been instructed to pay faulty (inadequate) amounts to the original petitioners.

Also even the faulty amounts deposited by LIC were upto October 2013 in Jaipur and upto April 2014 in Chandigarh. If they do not update their calculations correctly (including upgradation of pension) upto May 2015, they are clearly liable to be charged with contempt of court. Even if LIC pays the interim relief to only the two sets of petitioners leaving out the Delhi petitioners under the pretext of need for clarification, LIC will only be compounding its liability to be charged with further contempt.

All the three sets of petitioners have a very strong case to proceed with contempt application in SC immediately after it opens after summer vacation in July 2015.

In the meantime, the petitioners who receive the inadequate amount of interim relief will be well advised to record their protest in writing with LIC against the latter paying the amount far short of what is required to be paid under the SC’s interim order dt 7/5/2015.

The final meeting with the 7th CPC was held on 9.6.2015. 


Date of effect: The Chairman has made it clear that the Commission would recommend 1.1.2016 as the date of implementation of their recommendations. 


The Commission would finalise its report by end of August and would submit the same to the Government thereafter.


Open ended pay scales: The Commission would recommend open ended pay scales as suggested by the Staff Side. 


While fixing minimum pay, DA increase on 01.07.2015 and 01.01.2016 will be taken into account and accordingly it will be decided.

Parity in pension entitlement of the past and present pensioners. The Commission is yet to make up its mind on the suggestion made by the staff side in the matter. 


They however said that almost all the Pensioners organizations which met the Commission had pleaded for this and the same is linked with the one rank one pension demand of the Armed forces personnel.

Educational Assistance: We have demanded for Educational Assistance for two children. instead of two eldest children. and also to pay the same for Post Graduate and Professional Courses. 7th CPC has agreed to consider it upto Graduation level.
