Subject: Fwd: Supreme court case

 Dear friends & endearing Pensioners,

 1)It was a hectic work for our AIRIEF Team to sort out the happenings,sift essentials from non-essentials ,visualise the various ways in which Today 24th July 2018 hearing can take place for admission of SLPs & converting into CAs & decide course of action by Eminent SC Bench of Hon Justices Madan B Lokur & Dipak Gupta. 2)The initial meeting between our Sr Counsel Sri KTSTulsi who occupies high place in the list of Sr Counsels of SC & already having had a stellar role in earlier many cases & so in the good books of the SC Bench also must augur well .Junior Advocates had presented good Briefs on the comprehensive Notes with clarifications, where necessary ,to catch the eye of our Sr Counsel & also supported by Charts & Tables with Gist & Summary to drive home the assertive & pointed rebuff & Rejoinder to LIC & UOI objections, to ensure an impartial & neutral understanding of the root of the problem,the Discrimination in DR & the sheer statusquo of our Basic Pension in IV PC mode, of 1995 vintage.Further this is accentuated by 6/7 Grades below getting much higher Pension than their Seniors,which is a gross & grotesque Anamaoly which also violates Fundamental Rights of Articles 14,16 & 21 of Constitution.It was these which Hon Dipak Misra in his 29 Page Judgement dt 31/3/2016 mentioned saying that the last word on PU has not yet been told & it is time Sr Counsels realise the ambit of Constitutional points & present their case with vigour concentrating on these earlier lacuna 3)Sri KTS Tulsi has given instructions to the Junior Advocates.Our committed Team of S/Sri MPAgnihotri & Pramod Bhatnagar have moved heaven & earth yesterday with Flash consultations amongst them & our worthy President Sri SSSaxena & hardworking GS GKrishnaswamy & have arrived at contingency plans depending on spot developments in SC .They have toiled whole day only to protect & promote the welfare of All Groups of pensioners .They will keenly watch developments & act inconsonance with requirements.They will also meet our Sr Counsel after the SC hearing & final outcome. 4)What we all must remember is Hon Justice Madan B Lokur is retiring in October 2018.These 2 Judges have been the harbinger of many landmark judgements with protection to litigants & lambasting & pulling the UOI in recent Judgements.All want to avail this critical opportunity in Pensioners favour & if all hearings, not to be many & with consecutive dates to be impressed on SC Bench takes place as SC bench is made aware even earlier of the 20 year itch & 17,000 pensioners having died or dying,SC Bench must also endeavour to complete by August 20th or so ,at worst so that the Judgement ,which all eyes & ears are waiting to see & hear can be delivered before Hon MBLokur retirement Our AIRIEF Team & Leaders will leave no stone unturned to ensure this does happen Faith & Prayers for a noble,genuine,modest & legitimate Cause of Elders & Sr Citizens of a shining,lustrous Financial & Service Institution LIC,

 Dear friends, WhatsApp messages were flashed some days back to say that Shri KML Asthana ji had met the Registrar in Supreme court to permit him to argue his case and that was permitted on 16-7-2018 Today there was another message that he has sought for adjournment of the case by at least 15 days. Our Joint secretary Shri Pramod Bhatnagar and Shri M P Agnihotri, convener of our legal study group are in Delhi to meet teh Sr counsel. They have been given the copy of Shri KMLA's letter to the Registrar of SC seeking adjournment. Shri MPA and Shri PB are in continuous touch with our President Shri Saxena and the GS of AIRIEF and have conveyed this information as follows: REPORT BY Shri Pramod Bhatnagar on 23-7-2018 The AIRIEF team consisting of Mr Agnihotri and Bhatnagar met Sr Advocate Mr KTS Tulsi and discussed our case in detail with notes prepared and a new development in view of a letter circulated by Mr Asthanaji seeking two weeks adjournment because of his ill health. Though AIRIEF is not in f/o any move of adjournment but as it comes form Mr. Asthanaji who unfortunately fallen sick and likely to be hospitalized as reports on whatsApp by GS RIEA Jaipur, we are in constant touch with our team advocates and Sr advocate to decide further course of action. Dear all, we shall be acting judiciously protecting the interests of the pensioners with the least financial burden. Many whatsApp messages apprehend ADJOURNMENT. We like to make it clear that AIRIEF shall take all possible steps to see that SLP is admitted.
