What CHQ says.....

MODIFIED PARITY FROM 1-1-2006

25/07

We have written several times on this Website as well as in our Journal: PENSIONERS PATRIKA about the case concerning modified parity in minimum pension for the elder pensioners. CAT New Delhi had ordered that parity should be given to all pensioners applying the Concordance Table, prescribed by the sixth Pay Commission.
Government issued the order but giving the financial benefit only from 24-9-2012. The affected pensioners went to the Court demanding the benefit from 1-1-2006. CAT gave a judgement in their favour.
Government filed appeal in High court.Government was defeated in the High court.
Then Government filed a Special Leave Petition in Supreme Court. SLP was rejected.
Government filed an appeal against it.That too was dismissed.
Government filed a Review petition. Review petition was rejected.
Government filed Curative petition. That was also dismissed by the Supreme Court.
Then, then government issued orders giving the benefit only to the people who approached the court in the cases. That was also challenged. A contempt petition was filed against the Government by the senior pensioners.
Finally, it is now reported that, the Government has issued orders giving the befit from 1-1-2006 itself.
Bharat Pensioners Samaj has given the above information.We could not get a copy of the order.When we get the same we shall upload the order in this website.
Anyway, the elder pensioners have won the significant legal battle. We congratulate them

78.2% CASE:

NO COMMENTS FROM DEPARTMENT OF EXPENDITURE SO FAR

24/07

Today, Com. R C Malhotra (our NTR Circle President) and Com. D P S Sisodia (Circle Secretary) met the Director (Estt) and Joint Secretary, Telecom and conveyed our serious concern over the undue delay in processing the Cabinet Note. The officers say that they tried their best to get the views from four nodal ministries. Department of Pension has given their views. Views of the Department of Expenditure (DOE) is important and essential. Jt Secretary assured that the would take up the matter again with DOE to avoid further delay.

It seems the delay is due to divergent views on removal of the 60:40 condition on sharing of Pension Liability.

GAYAA RAM....AAYAA RAM......!

OLD GIMMICKS AGAIN

24/07

100 ITS officers are repatriated to Department of Telecom today by BSNL.

It is another drama.

On 17-4-2012, Delhi High court asked the BSNL/MTNL to send back all the ITS officers working on deputation basis if they have not opted for BSNL or MTNL.

BSNL Management did not honour the Court Order.Instead, the Management sought more time.

Again on 15-2-2013, Delhi High Court asked the BSNL/MTNL to comply its earlier order.

But, the BSNL Management managed to get a decision from Cabinet to retain the ITS officers in BSNL.

At that stage a wonderful order was issued. 988 ITS officers were transferred back to Department of Telecom.Within few minutes, all those 988 officers were brought back to BSNL for ten years on year-to-year diminishing basis. In effect an ITS officer will be in Central Government Service technically but will practically work in BSNL till he/she retires.

Not satisfied with all these, the ITS association filed another case and the High court has now decided that case.

Finding no alternative, the DOT asked BSNL to repatriate 100 ITS officers immediately.

Accordingly, the BSNL has issued an order today, 24th July 2015, asking 100 ITS officers to report to the Pr CCA or CCA of the Circle.

Tomorrow, or even today night, another order can be expected bringing back these 100 ITS officers to their respective posts and chairs.

BSNL management, inefficient in all other matters, are very efficient in doing this gimmicks.
