A JOURNEY TOWARDS TRUTH, PEACE .

Re: Today’s proceedings in Delhi HC The arguments in our cases continued today and we were in constant touch with our Counsel Shri RK Garg and our LC Member Shri VK Jain. The proceedings began with resumption of arguments to complete the partly advanced submissions by other counsels. In the afternoon session LIC’s counsel is reported to have stressed on the financial implications on the pensioners’ demands. The Court directed LIC to file an affidavit on the financial impact,  within 7 days , and also directed the respondents to file their reply in a week thereafter. We are informed that a representation was made to the effect that the Solicitor General will be available for arguments on behalf of UOI only at the next hearing. The Court thereafter adjourned the matter to 25 th  Jan 2017. According to our information a senior counsel representing another organisation (i.e. not ours) that a formal petition may be fled for extending the time set by the Hon SC for disposal

Re: Hearing of our case, in Delhi HC As expected the hearing took place today ( 4/1/2017 ). Al the counsels representing the pensioners’ organizations including ours advanced their arguments. All spoke on the ‘discrimination’ and ‘up-gradation’ issues, and there was absolutely no dissenting. The defendants’ senior counsel however clarified on a couple of points. Totally it took three and half hours for all to present their arguments.  The Bench was interactive on most of the points presented. At the end of the day, representation was made by LIC/UOI for continuing their arguments tomorrow . The Court however agreed to hear them on  6/1/2017 . Interested persons may kindly get in touch with me over phone for any details. I wish to add that a rumour floats that ‘Khanna’ (referring perhaps to our Senior Counsel) is likely to seek extension from SC.  It is totally baseless and refuted with all emphasis at our command. Kindly ignore any post in any blog on this. With Gre

Dear shri Gopalakrishnan.,  Shri Sury has forwarded a copy sent by you of a circular issued by our Bangalore unit confirming that our fedn's counsels did not speak about extension of time at the last hearing on 8/12. It is timely and my compliments to all our activists at Bangalore. I have also posted a confirmation on this in RK Sahni's blog today. Besides I have also sent by post a long note under the caption 'year end musings' to m/s Ravindran 'TKS & Rajagopalan dealing with mischievous and wnwarranted writings by certain people on court proceedings.  I have requested shri Sury to carry it in his blog  tomorrow . Thanks again and with best wishes for a happy New Year -2017 Regds.- GNSridharan
