Co-ordination Meeting between Federation and AIRIEF on 5.10.2017

Co-ordination meeting between

Federation of Retired LIC Class I Officers’ Associations

and All India Retired Insurance Employees’ Federation

at Bangalore on 5^th Oct 2017

The meeting of the representatives of the two organizations was held today. This is the 2^nd one in Bengalore after the one informal meeting in Delhi in May 2017.

The discussion centred on the conduct of the ongoing SLPs in Supreme Court. It was felt that separate SLPs by Shri Asthana, Hyderabad & Panchakula being posted for different dates, nothing significant can be expected to happen at the forthcoming hearing on 13/10/2017. It was strongly advocated that our two organizations should stress on Interim Relief at the above hearing since there is bound to be a long gap before further hearing if SLPs are converted into regular Civil Appeals. It was agreed that both organizations will instruct their respective Counsels/Senior Counsels suitably in this behalf.

Shri GN Sridharan informed the line of action being contemplated on the issue of re-fixation of pension for the 92-93 retirees. Shri Rajagopalan elaborated the rationale behind the proposition viz. 1) To get impleaded in the pending WP in Kerala HC, and 2) Approaching SC directly for direction to LIC to implement the decision in MC Jain’s case for all similarly placed retirees. AIRIEF representatives were requested to furnish the list of their members falling under this category. After considerable discussion in which Shri G Krishnaswamy and Shri M Arunachalam actively provided certain facts on impacts, it was decided that the legal opinion that the Retired LIC Class I Officers’ Federation is obtaining will be shared with AIRIEF and that they will also consider joining any proceedings that may be initiated at SC. It was also agreed that the cost of will be shared.

A review of the situation will be taken up after we get a fair idea on the next hearing date on the course of the ongoing SLPs in SC.
