A JOURNEY TOWARDS TRUTH, PEACE .

Follow up of other Legal matters It is natural that with the SLP having been filed we have started receiving enquiries on other matters requiring judicial remedy. One of them is the vexed problem relating to the re- fixation of pensions for those who had retired between 1/8/92 and 31/3/93. As members are aware that efforts to persuade the authorities to implement the decision in MC Jain's case to all similarly placed pensioners having not borne fruit, we caused a legal notice to be sent to  LIC & Govt. on 1/6 2017 and  though sufficient time has elapsed since then, there is no indication of a favourable response from concerned quarters. We note that we have three or four options to proceed legally. 1) Go straight to the Supreme Court by filing a Writ under the Constitution seeking a direction that the order in MC Jain's case be extended to all pensioners who had retired during the period in question. (Apart from the cost aspect it should be noted invoking the dir

Thereafter the SLPs will be listed for admission in 10 to 15 days. We apprehended that our matter may be clubbed with other SLPs on the issue of 100% neutralization of Bank retirees (a hearing of their case is posted for today also) but our counsel is of the firm view that it may not happen. We will have in any case to wait for about two weeks to know the progress at court level. Meantime we shall continue to interact with the leadership of the other organisations viz.

information from  sri V.R.KRISHNAN  our joint secretary chennai chapter of our Association. RETIRED  LIC  CLASS  I OFFICERS’ ASSOCIATION,  CHENNAI 22-07-2017 Dear Members, The concern of our colleagues at Chennai about lack of communication for quite some time has been conveyed to me. I am sorry the cause for it was that I was busy for nearly two weeks in finalising the Special Leave petition (SLP) in the supreme court against the  Delhi High Court judgement DT 27/4  which was totally adverse on the issue of up gradation of pensions though on the question of DR Anomaly some relief had been granted to the pre 97 retirees .             I may however inform that thanks to the help of our vice president Shri. Arunachalam and other Legal committee members of the federation we have finalised a revised draft which has already been forwarded to our advocate at Delhi . we expect that the petition would be filed before 27th of this month. We are seeking interim relief in re
