A JOURNEY TOWARDS TRUTH, PEACE .

Filing SLP in SC As we are receiving enquiries on the status of work in regard to the above, we confirm we are actively on the job.  Our advocate had sent to us a preliminary draft of the petition on  which we felt a little more of elaboration was called for.  We have therefore sent back to him a revised draft prepared after consultations amongst the legal committee members as decided earlier.  Our activist at Delhi shri. VK Jain is coordinating with our advocate and we are taking all steps to ensure that the petition is filed on 25 th or 26 th of this month.  We may add that the other two organisations we are in touch with may also be filing around the same time only, . With Greetings, GN Sridharan, Gen. Secy. Federation of Retd.LIC Class I Officers' Assns.

He also had a penchant for the written word. The tremendous energy with which he plunged into the movement for the Pensioners for their rights and privileges was amazing. From his  activity levels in the cause of Pensioners, one can't easily guess his age. He looked like a motivated youngster, hopping places spending his own time and money, to achieve his objectives. He was an incurable optimist who went around to canvass opinion in favour of his approach to the legal battles.
