A JOURNEY TOWARDS TRUTH, PEACE .

Dear shri Gopalakrishnan.,  Shri Sury has forwarded a copy sent by you of a circular issued by our Bangalore unit confirming that our fedn's counsels did not speak about extension of time at the last hearing on 8/12. It is timely and my compliments to all our activists at Bangalore. I have also posted a confirmation on this in RK Sahni's blog today. Besides I have also sent by post a long note under the caption 'year end musings' to m/s Ravindran 'TKS & Rajagopalan dealing with mischievous and wnwarranted writings by certain people on court proceedings.  I have requested shri Sury to carry it in his blog  tomorrow . Thanks again and with best wishes for a happy New Year -2017 Regds.- GNSridharan

MESSAGE FROM G N SRIDHARAN. OUR HON'BLE CHIEF MINISTER MADAM J.  JAYALALITHAA IS NO MORE I am sorry  to report to our members the sad demise of  Ms. J Jayalalalithaa the chief minister of my home state of T N  last evening.. She was a courageous leader with a mass following. On behalf of our organisation, I extend our condolences to her followers and join them in their prayers for her soul to rest in peace. Due to  the tension following the intensive final stage treatment for her in the hospital commercial establishments were not functioning in the city to regular timings for the past couple of days. Besides I was also slightly indisposed after my return from Delhi on 30th ultimo with the result the finalisation of my report on the proceedings of the EC meeting held at Thrissur on 28/11 got delayed. I however hope to despatch the same in a couple of days.    GN Sridharan  Gen. Secy . Fedn of Retd  LIC Class1 of...

COPY OF LETTER DATED 18.11.2016 ADDRESSED TO CHAIRMAN LIC OF INDIA DEAR SIR, Ref: Health care schemes for pensioners....Domiciliary Medical expenses. We thankfully record at the outset that the existing medicalim scheme proiding cover against hospitalisation is no doubt of immense assistance for the LIC pensioners especially with the present features of premium-subsidy and proision for floater coer.  IT IS HOWEVER A MATTER OF REGRET THAT OUR REPEATED REQUEST FOR RELIEF AGAINST INCREASING DOMICILIARY MEDICAL EXPENSES HAVE NOT EVOKED ANY RESPONSE FROM THE CORPORATION TILL DATE. WE NEED NOT POINT OUT THAT PUBLIC VIEW INCREASINGLY INDICATE THAT EXCLUDING 'DOMICILIARY TREATMENT AS 'ANTI-CONSUMER' AND THERE HAE BEEN SHARP PUBLIC RESENTMENT, IF NOT CRITICISM, ON THE ATTITUDE OF GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANIES ON EXCLUSION OF COER, PARTICULARLY OF DOMICILIARY MEDICAL TREATMENT THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN INSTANCES OF EXTENDING THE COVER FOR DOMICILIARY EXPENSES IN THE RECENT PAST...

Day’s happening in Delhi HC We sent a couple of SMS to a few and the detailed account follows as below. Our case was listed in both Court No 6 and a Special Court. As soon as the Bench sat in the morning at  10.30 AM , our Advocate Shri Rajiv Garg and a senior counsel of one other petitioner mentioned this to Bench and sought indication as to when our case would be heard during the day. This was necessary since it was expected that a reconstituted Bench may be hearing our case as the companion judge J Sunita Gupta is reportedly retiring very shortly. Further the general view among counsels was that hearing on our matters will have to be taken up on a day-to-day basis over a short span, once a final date is fixed. In the entire morning session and also more than 1 and ½ hours after lunch break, only other listed cases were taken up by J Sanjiv Khanna and a new companion Judge.  At close to 3 45 PM, the existing Bench retired and the erstwhile Bench hearing our case t...

A communication from  G N SRIDHARAN. ON THE RECENT HAPPENINGS.  Dear shri Sury,  your mails one re: shri Asthana's post on Mr Sreenivasamurthy and the other on Delhi HC order of 11/11. Kindly bear with me for having delayed my response.  While I felt that shri KMLA's post was a trifle harsh in language I should be honest in stating that I am in full agreement with the message that he has sought to convey Viz. Mr. murthy is anxious to see that LIC pensioners recognise him as the only leader working for their good. His anxiety is understandable and it is the natural for those who choose themselves as leaders. Mr. murthy broke away from our organisation as he was not happy that we were pursuing the issue of DR anomaly affecting the aged pre 97 lot and he would not settle for anything other than up gradation for all and nothing else. He was not receptive to our plea that upgradation was not thought of when we approached Delhi HC in late 2006 and our petitio...

  Delhi High court order of date  We have just been informed that orders were pronounced by Justice Khanna of Delhi HC holding that the supreme court order on payment of 40% IR has been complied with by LIC. It is indeed a disappointing situation for the pensioners. Some of us knowing the trend of thinking of judiciary on such matters have always cautioned against any over reliance on judiciary to solve all our problems . This interim pronouncement on an issue blown out of proportion by self seeking 'Leaders' will unfortunately have repercussions on other issues still to be gone into by the High court.  It is distressing one of such leaders has already started talking of going to supreme court.      We appeal to all members to re ​m​ember that only on our initiative that the   IR arose and we are as competant as others it not more than others in   tackling such depressing situations, after we receive the copy of the order short...

Pension matters One view based on long experience is that nothing dramatic may happen, through judiciary or otherwise, on our pending genuine problems unless and until parallel situations affecting Bank pensioners are finally dealt with by IBA/GOI, .one way or the other. We are therefore naturally keeping in touch with friends in the banking sector who are fighting for justice to their pensioners. The one identical problem is the denial of 100% neutralization on DR, the only difference being the date on which the discrimination arose.  Also, the issue affecting the pensioners of SBI alone calls for our close watch. In SBI those who retired after the seventh bipartite settlement was effected still receive their pensions based on the earlier 6th bipartite settlement. This is something similar to the case of retired of the period 1/8/92 to 1/4/93 for whom the judiciary has already handed down a verdict favourable to the pensioners in MC Jain's case. The writ petitions bot...
