Sub.: Information under RTI Act 2005 regarding payment o[censored]pgraded pension and removable of DA anomaly. (Under the proviso of Sec 7(1).)

Dear Sir/Madam

You are aware the Hon’ble Supreme Court, inter alia, passed the following orders on 08.08.2013, 19.8.2013, 30.9.2013 & 8.10.2013 while disposing off SLPs filed by LIC against the orders of three High Courts, :

“There shall be no stay of the directions given by the learned single Judge vide order dated 12.01.2010 passed in S.B.CWP No.6676 of 1998 and connected matter.”(connected matter means CWP No.654 of 2007 regarding upgradation of pension).

Accordingly LIC is under legal obligation to implement Rajasthan High Court orders dated 12.1.2010 passed by the learned single Judge in S.B.CWP No.6676 of 1998 and S.B.CWP No. 654 of 2007, vide which the Hon’ble Judge allowed both the Writs and LIC has been directed to implement LIC’s own Board Resolution No. 492 passed on 24.11.2001 - which provide relief to all the retired employees of LIC (ie. Pensioners) on two long pending demands viz:

(1) Updation of pension consequent upon revision of pay scales of in-service employees from time to time ie. 1997, 2002, 2007 and subsequent revisions as and when take place.

(2) To remove glaring anomaly with regard to payment of DA to pensioners who retired before 1.8.1997 as they are getting 50% neutralization whereas who retired after this date get 100%.

I seek the following information under RTI Act, 2005.

1. Please inform if necessary orders/circulars have been issued by Central Office, Mumbai and sent to ZOs, DOs, BOs for implementation of court orders with regard to payment of revised pension after upgrading on account of periodical grade revisions in 1992, 1997, 2002, 2007, and removing DA anomaly as per Rajasthan High Court, Jaipur orders dated 12.1.2010 and arrears with interest of 12% from the date of retirement as per Pb & Haryana High Court orders dated 09.11.2012, and Delhi High Court vide their order dated 30.1.2013 added “……………….that concededly the law declared by the Jaipur Bench of the Rajasthan High Court has to be applied in rem”.

2. In case answer to (1) above is yes, please send me a copy of such orders/circulars.

3. In case the answer to (1) above is No, please inform the reasons under Section 4 (1)d of RTI Act 2005.

Please note that with the publication of High Courts Orders on the web sites, and the fact that there is no stay by the Supreme Court this matter is no more sub-judice, and thus has become public and applicable.

Since information sought for concerns to my life, the same be provided within a period of 48 hours of the receipt of this request, as per the proviso of Section 7 (1) of the RTI Act 2005.. Payment of pension is directly related to my life.
A postal order No. _____________ for Rs. 10/- is attached herewith as processing fee.



Thank you
