Refixation to pensioners in MC Jain case

Dear Sir,

To be fair and impartial I appreciate the Federation for having brought a booklet on "Group mediclaim scheme for LIC pensioners".

  • I may also have to appreciate their passing a resolution in their Executive meeting dated 10th November which reads: ' Refixation of pension for those who have retired between 1-8-1992 and 1-4-1993 following dismissal of LIC SLP NO 8090/2014 by the Supreme court in what is known as M C Jain case '. 

This class of pensioners among whom many have died are few in numbers got lost in the current focus on DA neutralization and pension up gradation, not getting the required sympathy although many of them would have reached 80 in age.

Will the resolution in their favour create an impact with the management ? Can the trade unions/associations think of any other means to get the court verdict implemented.
