A JOURNEY TOWARDS TRUTH, PEACE .

Hearing of our SLP No. 21206/2017 Our case came up today as scheduled.   We are informed by our Counsel as well as Shri VK Jain (Legal  Committee Member at Delhi) that the court ordered ' Dasti 'on the Respondents (LIC/UOI) i.e. notice to be served by hand and ordered the same to be returnable  in four weeks . our counsel has assured that he will ensure that the notice is served immediately. Once the notice is served, the matter will be listed after the expiry of the stipulated period. We can therefore assume that the next date of hearing will be in the first week of November.  Our counsels (both Shri Garg & Senior) were present and also the Sr. Counsel representing AIRIEF.  Further developments will be intimated in due course.  GN Sridharan.

Having such large ears and a small mouth means you should listen more and talk less.” Daaji our spiritual Master at Sri Ramachandra Mission explains: BIRTHDAY OF LORD GANESHA SEP 05. 2016 Dear Friends, Warm wishes to you all on this happy and auspicious occasion when Hindus celebrate the birthday of Lord Ganesha. But we neither need to be Hindu nor religious to appreciate the story of his wonderful life and what he represents. In Hindu homes, this festival is usually filled with immense joy. There is often a retelling of the story of Lord Ganesha, as well as special food, decorations, music and offerings. For children, Ganesha is a magical, mythological being, and parents often refer to him and his life to teach values, such as “Having such large ears and a small mouth means you should listen more and talk less.” There are also some very beautiful and profound spiritual messages we can learn from Ganesha that are universal in their appeal. When you look at ...

Sub: Today at Supreme Court ( 14/8/2017 ) We are informed by our sources that SLP filed by AIIPA came up today as listed and since the petitioners counsel has already circulated a letter for adjournment of the matter by 12 weeks, the Court ordered SLP being listed on  10/11/2017 without admission. As regards the petition by Hyderabad Association who have filed an application for condoning the delay, their matter is also adjourned to the same date. We are awaiting numbering of SLP filed by us. Sub: Meeting with leaders of other organizations We have been repeatedly informing that we are in touch with AIRIF and AIIPA. As part of that exercise, a meeting has been arranged at Bangalore  tomorrow  ( 15/8/2017 ) which is expected to be attended by Shri G Krishnaswamy,  General Secretary of AIREF and Sri K Natarajan Senior Vice President of AIIPA. Our Federation will be represented by three of our Legal Committee members, viz., myself, Shri R Rajagopalan...

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 n...

Our SLP stands filed in Supreme Court As we had already advised all through our flash messages, we filed our SLP in the SC yesterday (31/7 - Diary No. 22862/2017 .  We are advised by our counsel that after scrutiny by the registry the matter will be numbered and since all parties have filed their papers, the process will take four or five days. 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. AIIPA & AIIREF to explore the possibility of a common approach .We anticipate no problem in the SLPs being converted into regular appeals and we fe...
