Friends, out of the 8 cases filed on our behalf in Supreme Court for Transfer we have got notice ordered on Kerala, Chennai, Mumbai and Karnataka and the other petitions but for Kolkata came up for hearing in Supreme court on 8th December 2008, before the Chief Justice's court. The petitions which came up for hearing were of more importance since two of the petitions namely Himachal and Gujarat were already decided by the High court and appeal is pending in Division Bench of the respective courts with the case at Bhubaneswar. Hence we did'nt take any chance and again appointed Sri. L.Nageswar rao to appear for us. Our team went to Delhi on 6th Dec., 2008 and had conference with the Senior counsel Sri. L.Nageswara rao at his residence, accompanied by Adv. Sri. Dayan Krishnan, our representatilve at Delhi with Sri Parthiban Advocate from Chennai. On 8th the case listed at No.19 in court no. 1 came up for hearing at 11 am and our senior counsel was arguing another case at Court no. 2 and our representative Advocate Sri.DayanKrishnan and Chennai Advocate Sri. Parthiban started with explaining the case to the Hon'ble Chief Justice and were answering the questions posed by the Chief Justice and our Senior Cousel rushed to our Court after finishing at Court No. 2 and to our relief joined Sri Dayan and Parthiban and made his presence felt by placing the facts precisely and the moment the Chief saw our Senior Counsel, ordered for notice and also gave interim relief (Stay). We were relieved and now we are another step ahead and will have a final hearing during end of February or beginning of March 2009.

Friends, be prepared for the final assault and your assistance in Finance is the most needed one and of course the Moral support.

Our case at Sup.court.

Our case on Transfer petition came up for hearing on 17th oct 2008, before Hon'ble Justice Kabir and Justice Katju, in Court no. 9, for admission. We were represented by Sri.Nageswra rao Senior advocate with Sri Dayan Krishnan, Parthiban, Goutham and Nikhil Nayyar advocates. The judge initially asked us whether all the petitions mentioned in the list were of NISVREA and our Advocate responded positively and the next question was whether the amount was paid or not? and our counsel said no and continued with the explanation that the amount pertaining to clause 6 of the Svr Scheme has not been paid and the judge after making some clarifications decided to send notice to the Management and asked us to petition for stay of the proceedings in the other High courts.
We made arrangements to petition for stay in supreme court and also made all the documents available for the supreme court to send the notice to all the management on 17th itself.
Friends the first ordeal is over and God has helped us in doing so and we are now awaiting for the Management and Union of india to reply and for the date of next hearing. Let us all pray the Almighty to help us in this most crucial step and we expect your full co opearation.
