A good job of drafting a petition to present Chief Justice by Sri RBK. But he will be in office for another 12 days. May be he will act on the petition but the task is quite complicated due to the very nature of dispute and the way our case has progressed. Our dispute is being tossed between S.C. and various high courts too often. In this situation, the planned concerted action in Supreme Court should be most welcome. It appears a final solution to our problem must come from Supreme Court only and the common petition should pray that Supreme Court issue directive to LIC to implement the Jaipur H.C. order.

I also see no use at this stage for further call for unity, another advisory committee, another panel etc, I trust the present leading activist like Srinivasa Murthy, Kishore, Mahadevan, Viswanathan etc. and of course Asthana and the advocates who have handled the cases in various courts with the task of formulating further strategy.This job be best left to them.

I agree with Mr Viswanathan about the human tendency to do some good before they demit high office and it is equally true while taking charge of a high office to favourably consider first few appeals. I request Sri RBK to keep a draft petition ready to submit to the new Chief Justice Shri Rajendra Mal Lodha, if it warrants,to reach him on the day he takes charge.
