CASE WON IN SUPREME COURT BY ESM FOR ARREARS TO BE PAID FROM 01 JAN 2006 -

CASE WON IN SUPREME COURT BY ESM FOR ARREARS TO BE PAID FROM 01 JAN 2006 - Dear All Further to my mail dated 17 Mar 15, Supreme court order, regarding payment of pension arrears w.e.f. 1 Jan 2006, has come and is given in line and attached also. Pl note that the order still does not say that arrears are to be paid all, however it is silent on this issue. Even though SC had verbally over-ruled Govt solicitor Pinky Anand that Govt may be allowed to pay only to litigants but it is not mentioned in written order. IESM will wait Govt move and is ready to go to SC in case Govt decides to make selective payment.

Government has already paid the arrears to civil employees from 1 Jan 2006. However this was denied to Armed Forces personnel on most stupid ground that the arrears will not be paid to those who had not gone to court. RDOA had gone to court for arrears to be paid to Armed Forces also. The case was won but the Government decided to file SLP against the SC judgment. The SLP came for hearing on 17 March 15, after many extensions. Honorable SC has declined admission of SLP and asked Government to release payment of arrears w.e.f. 1 Jan 2006 within four months. These arrears are for modified parity in pension paid w.e.f 24 Sep 2012. Government counsel once again told Honorable SC that the arrears w.e.f 1 Jan 2006 will be paid to only litigants. On this plea Honorable SC had said that this will again increase your and our work load because within few days rest of personnel will soon approach SC for the arrears and Government will have to pay. Therefore it is better that the arrears are paid to all personnel of armed forces. Government counsel appealed that Government does not have money for such large payment. On this plea again Honorable SC ruled that if Government can loose thousands of crore in coal blocks this payment is chickenfeed infront of that. Hence the arrears will have to be paid within four months. These were oral discussions in the court, we will have to wait for formal order by the Honorable SC and the reaction of Government on the judgment. IESM will go to court on behalf of all personnel of Armed Forces in case Government refuses to pay arrears to all affected Armed Forces Personnel. Please wait for written judgment of Honorable Supreme Court.
