ANOMALY CASE POSTPONED
to 11-02-2015.....

Our Application in Pension Anomaly case came up before Principal Bench of CAT, New Delhi today.  As expected, the Department of Telecom and BSNL sought further extension of time to file their counter affidavits.  Court gave time and posted the case to 11th FEBRUARY 2015.

It is the usual tactics of the Government side to seek time again and again to delay the case.  Once we enter in the Court, we have to depend upon its procedures and decisions. There is no alternative. 

According to a reply given by the Registrar of Supreme Court of India, under Right to Information Act recently, 64651 cases are pending in our Supreme Court as on 10-10-2014. Some SLPs (Special Leave Petitions) are pending since 1993...more than 21 years!!   That being the case of Supreme Court, we do not know how many lakhs are pending in lower courts.  

A ‘babu” in the Office denies justice forcing employees and pensioners approach the Court of Law. If the Court decides a case against the employee, then, the babus will issue a general order making it applicable to all. If the court decision is against the Government, then, they file Appeal, Review, Special Leave, again Review, and Curative petitions. The Super  Babus lose nothing. It is the public money that is wasted.

 An engineer in BSNL/DoT or his ‘babu’ having no knowledge in legal matters, but having a negative mind, decides to waste public money.  Pension Anomaly Case is  another example. It could have been settled by issuing a suitable order.   But, justice was denied to more than 4000 pensioners.  They waited for 14 years and then forced to approach the Court.

                        THE MAN WHO BROUGHT HONOUR TO PENSIONERS IN INDIA

“PENSION IS NOT A GRACE....

PENSION IS NOT AN EX-GRATIA PAYMENT.....”

32 YEARS AGO, on 17th December 1982, the Supreme Court of India

declared so in the Classic judgement delivered by five most eminent judges of India

in D S Nakara Vs. Govt of India case.

Till 1986, there was no pension revision in central services. 

But, the Govt was compelled to ask 4^th CPC to study pension system

and recommend modification, if any required. 

Based on 4^th CPC report, pension also was revised from 1986. 

Only because of the case filed by Mr. D S Nakara and his friend

Rear Admiral (Retd) Satyendra Singh.

5^th CPC recommended better benefits for pensioners quoting Supreme Court. 

6^th CPC also recommended pension revision, but, with lesser benefits to the pensioners than the serving staff....

Now the 7^th CPC is on the job.

Pensioners of India observe 17^th December every year as PENSIONERS DAY.

A day will come when the Government itself will recognise this as an important day.

 

We pay our respectful tributes to late Mr Nakara

who was instrumental for gettingthe landmark-classic judgement on pension system from Supreme Court of India.
