Date:  21.6.2016 GN SRIDHARAN WRITES:    As already informed, we are constantly pursuing this issue with the Central Office.  A delegation led by our President Shri Bali had stressed the need for doing justice to the small group of affected pensioners (only Class I retirees ) . We would like to inform that as a follow up our Jt.Secy at Mumbai Shri D M Pathak ha s submitted a memorandum on our behalf on the subject to to the E.D. (Per) on 21/7/2016 reiterating that it is not fair to deny this small group the extension of the benefit arising out of the Jaipur HC judgement in MC Jain's case.   Copies of the same are being sent to the units who had sent to us in the past the list of their members falling under this category. Others are requested to send their list to us immediately.  We are aware that LIC has not settled the correct amount to Shri MC Jain himself as is being repeatedly pointed out by others.  Our members will appreci...

RETIRAL BENEFITS.  Dear Sri.Sridharan, I thank you for your email dated 5.5.2016 A few pensioners and I have decided to file a writ in Delhi High Court against the Bank listing out the irregularities it has committed ignoring,  a) the rights of the pensioners as per the SBI Employees' Pension Fund Rules,  b) the Supreme Court order issued to the Bank on 23.2.1989,   c) the observations in V.Kasturi vs SBI, d) its own Board resolution dated 26.7.2000 and f)several Supreme Court judgments, such as Nakara, U.P.Raghavendra  Acharya vs the State of Karnataka, the State of Jharkhand &ors vs Jitendra Kumar Srivastava etc. . I  am also using the ruling delivered on 4.5.1971 by a Constitutional Banch of the Supreme Court  in Deokinandan Prasad vs the State of Bihar that Pension is a property and under Art 300A of the Constitution of India, none has the right to withhold the property with the authority of LAW. I hav...

YOU ARE LISTENING TO A MESSAGE FROM SRI G N SRIDHARAN GENERAL SECRETARY OF FEDERATION OF LIC CLASS I RETIRED OFFICERS' ASSOCIATIONS. Seated by the side of Sri G.N.Sridharan is Sri M.Arunachalam, Vice President of Retired LIC Class I Officers Association, Chennai.

Why hype on a procedural matter !! When a new petition comes up before the court the first step as per procedural laws is for the court to order notice returnable on or before a specified date. When the Hyderabad  Petition was moved in the Delhi High court , the  court decided to tag it on to the three WPs remanded to it by the supreme court for which the hearing date was already fixed as 12/7/2016  As the counsels for the Respondents were readily available in the court they had taken notice on the spot and the court asked them to file their counter  within 3 weeks .  There is nothing extraordinary about this.I would therefore reiterate that I had stated only the correct procedure I had expected and that is what actually happened.  I wonder whether an average pensioner will be interested at all on such procedural niceties.  Any reporting on such matters so long as what the reporter states is not contradicted ...

Re: Re- fixation of pensions for retirees of the p eriod 1/8/92 to 1/4/93.  We have been of late receiving several enquirers in regard to this issue and we assure that the same is being taken up with the Central Office at every opportunity. Even at the meeting our delegation led by our President Shri. Bali had with Dir (Per)  on 18/5/2016 the issue was discussed, and there has been no valid point made out by the management on why they cannot extend the benefit conferred by the Rajasthan HC in MC Jain's case. We would also like to keep going to court as the last option, not because the number of affected Class 1 pensioners is not large but because of the time involved in litigation. I spoke to Shri S Srivastav Dir (p)  on the subject again yesterday, and our office bearers at Mumbai M/S Nerurkat and Pathak will be following up the matter. Meantime we appeal to the concerned members to await the result of our current initiative after which we shall tak...

A tete-tete between two colleagues (birds of the same feather) My friend ! Doubts that are not cleared  spread fast  like fire.  It is time the fire gets extinguished . Yes.My friend. You go ahead.  "You said You were surprised when I started this blog. To be honest, I was also surprised when I hit the idea of starting this blog. " Please bring me your ear a little closer."  ' My stand has always been that GNS stands for ALL, i repeat ALL class I officers.   But, as  I heard that he presented only a list of members of his association only, for the purpose of obtaining that 20% of Interim Relief , I was pained.  But that feeling happened to be part of a passing cloud.   No sooner, did I realise that did not make a difference  in my appreciation for him and his efforts to reach his goal of justice to class 1 community in general and to those who are mostly affected to begin with.  Unluckly, GNS does not have a...

  N e w s  as at the moment. ******************************** Amended WP filed in Delhi High Court   We are happy to inform all members that our amended WP was filed yesterday (3/6) in the Delhi High Court. We were particular to lodge our papers before the court closes for vacation from today, and we are thankful to our counsel at Delhi Shri. RK Garg for taking necessary action promptly.  The preparation of the petition called for considerable efforts on our part and every member of our Legal committee comprising of myself and M/s R Rajagopalan, VK Jain, Basudeb Das & M Arunachalam deserve our compliments.  Irrespective of the prayers that are in the petitions already filed or expected to be filed by organizations other than those involved in the matters remanded to Delhi HC by the Supreme Court, and with our having almost succeeded in having the anomaly in DR removed affecting the pre 1997 category of pensioners, our aim is to secure the ...
