Difference in salary from 8/92 to 3/93‏

When the S C judgement turned out to be favourable there were comments that the principle enunciated therein covers all those who were in service during that period. I retired in June 1994 and the fixation of that particular wage settlement saw different dates for salary fixation and gratuity payment to Class I officers etc. 

While the differential date of effect of gratuity was rectified by SC and paid to all affected Cl 1 officers the different date for salary fixation to Cl. 1 was not taken up. Since there was glaring difference in pension of Class 1 officers retired during this period Mr. Jain filed a case and won. The principle appears to be that there cannot be a different dates of implementation of salary fixation between classes of employees, it would be applicable to all class I officers, whether they retired during this period are died on other dates.

My point is Mr Mahadevan's draft excludes those who were in service at that interval and surviving now. Does it mean that that those who are living are not entitled for this benefit.
