A JOURNEY TOWARDS TRUTH, PEACE .

17th July 2016 We are aware that our members are anxious to know the steps we are taking to steer our case at the hearing on 4th proximo.  In this connection we may inform that in the context of the non availability of the Senior  counsel (shri Sriram Panchu) who had effectively handled the matter for us in the supreme court, we are now in the process of making alternative arrangements.  We hope to finalise the matter very shortly.  Meantime some of our well meaning friends have been suggesting that since three of the members of our Federations legal committee themselves being practising lawyers we should consider making our own arguments .

In one December,

G N Sridharan writes: Today's proceedings in Delhi HC Despite attempt by LIC counsel, as expected, to get two weeks adjournment, the cases came up today  ​,  and there were serious discussions on the issues involved.   All the lawyers were present.  The Court heard all the cases during almost one hour in the forenoon.   On an enquiry  by the Bench, the counsel for LIC admitted that they had not filed their counter, and at this, the Judge expressed anguish.  Curiously, our Federation's amended petition was also not in the case bundle but our counsel pointed out the same was fled as early as he first week of June 2016 (our counsel  is following up with the Registry to get the matter set right).
