A JOURNEY TOWARDS TRUTH, PEACE .

LIC Addl Affidavit: LIC has today filed its addl affidavit. There is nothing new in it and is just 'Old wine in new bottle'. Nevertheless we shall be filing our addl Reply affidavit immediately with not much to add to whatever we had stated already.  GN Sridharan  Gen.Secy.  Fedn of retired LIC Class I Officers' Assns.

G N Sridharan writes: 1: Prospects for 14/2 hearing DHC From the record of proceedings in respect of the last hearing on 25/1/2017, it is noted that the matter will be heard on 'day to day basis' from 14/2. We therefore hope that that the case will be heard on at least two consecutive days and orders reserved at last so that pensioners will be relieved of further tension. Meantime we are advised by our counsel that LIC is expected to file their court mandated addl. affidavit during next week. So far as their earlier affidavit (on which the court had reportedly found fault) is concerned we may inform that we have already filed a suitable reply.  If therefore LIC files an addl. affidavit we shall also file an addl reply. We cannot also rule out the possibility of some of the petitioners seeking time to file their replies. We have to only pray that the hearing schedule does not get upset. 2 .
