THE WORK IS ON…..

23/04

On 22-4-2016, our Legal Committee Member Com. R L Kapoor met Sri. Jain, the DDG (Estt.) and enquired about progress in the case of 78.2%. DDG informed that Mr. Pracheesh Khanna, Director (Estt) has gone to China for some training. The Person working as his substitute is quit new.

So the work of translating all documents connected with the case of 78.2% to Hindi is given to another officer. She is on the job of translation. The translation will be ready within few days. Then the File will be sent to Secretary, Telecom for signing the covering letter addressed to Cabinet Secretariat.

We can expect that the Case will be sent to Cabinet Secretariat by at least 10th May 2016.

JUSTICE DELAYED, DELAYED, DELAYED AND DELAYED

JUSTICE DELAYED, DELAYED, DELAYED AND DELAYED.........

19/04

Com. R L Kapoor, Legal Committee Member reports from New Delhi:

The Pension Anomaly case was listed as Item No 60 before the Principal bench of CAT today.

The Bench heard cases up to 13.30 hours. But, our Case did not come up before that time.

The case is simply postponed to next date of 20-5-2016,

In 1985, when the CAT was established it was said:

---

The Hon'ble Chief Justice of India, Hon'ble Judges of the Supreme Court as well as the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India and Hon'ble Minister of Law had expressed their anguish on many occasions about the delay in deciding cases pending in Courts. We are glad to say that the experience and trend in the Central Administrative Tribunal is otherwise. On the occasion of the opening of the new building of the Principal Bench of the Tribunal, some features of the dispensation of justice in the Tribunal are highlighted. With a view to easing the congestion of pending cases in various High Courts and other Courts in the country, Parliament had enacted the Adminisitrative Tribunals Act, 1985 which came into force in July, 1985 and the Administrative Tribunals were established in November, 1985 at Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta and Allahabad. Today, there are 17 Benches of the Tribunal located throughout the country wherever the seat of a High Court is located, with 33 Division Benches. In addition, circuit sittings are held at Nagpur, Goa, Aurangabad, Jammu, Shimla, Indore, Gwalior, Bilaspur, Ranchi, Pondicherry, Gangtok, Port Blair, Shillong, Agartala, Kohima, Imphal, Itanagar, Aizwal and Nainital.

...................................................................................

BUT, WHAT IS OUR EXPERIENCE WITH CAT? MOST DISAPPOINTING. MOST DISGUSTING.

HOW LONG THE OLD PENSIONERS SHOULD WAIT BEFORE THE CAT TO HEAR THE CASE FIXED SEVERAL TIMES?

TAKE-HOME SALARY WILL BE LESS

10/04

A news item appeared in media is reproduced hereunder. All central government staff (except perhaps the Group D) will get very negligible amount as hike in their salary if the proposal is implemented. At the same time, all deductions will be based on the full hike. Net result will be that the "take-home" salary will be lesser than whey they get now. somebody concerned may please calculate and tell the fact.

News Item

7th Pay Commission – 50% of Salary Increase Could be by way of Bonds – Increase in government employee wages and pension expenditure on account of seventh pay commission recommendations is not fully provided for in the Budget.

The govt is considering a proposal under which 50% of of higher income staff under the 7th Pay Commission will be compulsorily invested in bank bonds. The proceeds will be used to recapitalise banks without additional pressure on the fiscal.

While this will result in less cash in the hands of higher-income employees, as a sweetener they will get income tax rebate on the amount invested. Those wanting to invest more than 50% to save tax will be allowed to do so. The Bank Recapitalisation Scheme, as this proposal is being called, will be voluntary for employees with lower salaries (those in the Rs 5,200-20,200 bracket) and pensioners.

A finance ministry official confirmed that preliminary discussions around this proposal were held at a meeting on Thursday, but no decision on its implementation was taken. “The issue was discussed. We are looking at all options,” he said.

SRI. ANANTHA KUMAR DID IT AGAIN

OUR MEETING WITH SECRETARY, TELECOM

06/04

Com P. Gangadhara Rao, Dy.GS was continuously taking efforts to meet Shri Ananthakumar, Hon. Minister for Chemicals & Fertilizers either at Bangalore or at New Delhi. He, alongwith Com. R Changappa, Karnataka Circle Secretary, met Shri Ananthakumar in Bangalore on 26-3-2015. The Minister made over the case of 78.2 to his Special Officer saying that “it is the most genuine case.”

The relentless efforts made by Com. Gangadhara Rao in continuation of the Bangalore meeting had its desired result. Ultimately a meeting was fixed with Shri Ananthakumar in his New Delhi office on 5-4-2016.

Com R L Kapoor, our Legal Committee Member was requested over phone to go to the Minister's office at the appointed time which he did. RLK met Hon. Minister Shri Ananthakumar and apprised him the present position on 78.2.

Immediately Shri Ananthakumar contacted Shri J S Deepak IAS, Secretary, Telecom and fixed a meeting with him at 6 PM on the same day itself. Accordingly Kapoor met Secretary, Telecom at about 6.30 PM and explained the demand. After hearing the explanation, Secretary, Telecom informed that he is yet to go through the file. When Kapooorji insisted, Secretary, Telecom asked him to contact exactly after a week's time.

Nobody else could meet the new Secretary, Telecom so far. It is possible for us only due to the effective intervention of Shri Ananthakumar once again and we are thankful to him. We hope that the Secretary, Telecom would clear it within a week without any further hurdles.

Let us hope that the indefinite waiting for justice will end now.
