A JOURNEY TOWARDS TRUTH, PEACE .

PREM DHAMIJA WRITES: LIC PENSIONERS LEGAL CASE IN DELHI HIGH COURT     WE HAVE REACHED A STAGE WHEN ALL THE FIFTY THOUSAND PENSIONERS ARE WAITING FOR THE JUDGMENT FROM DELHI HIGH COURT.  LET US PRAY  FOR A  FAVOURABLE DECISION  ON BOTH THE ISSUES OF REMOVAL OF DR ANOMALY AND UPGRADATION OF PENSION. ALL THE PARTIES WHO FILED THEIR PETITIONS HAVE PRESENTED THE CASE WELL THROUGH THEIR COUNSELS. THE OBJECT OF EVERY ONE WAS THE SAME.  THE WAY OF PRESENTATION MAY BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT.  HOPEFULLY THE DICISION SHOULD COME IN FAVOUR OF THE PENSIONERS AND THE CREDIT SHOULD GO TO ALL THE PARTIES.

The news we have from Bengaluru on the demise of M/S J Matthan and  K R Chandrasekhar during this week is indeed saddening. Both of them  were Presidents of the Chennai Assn of the class 1 officers' in yester years and I had the privilege of working with them as Secretary.  Shri  Matthan was always magnanimous in dealing with problems of officers and he held the offices of ZM chairman etc with grace and compassion  for all.  Shri Chandrasekhar was gentleman to the core and I recall the  problem he had with his medical cover a couple of years back when he  sought my assistance to have it sorted out. In short  we  have lost  two great men Who were in our midst.  May their soul rest in peace -GNSridharan
