Dear Friends,
It is long time we have published any news.But the Association is active and going all over india to gather suppport for the cause financially and morally. We had been to Kanpur and Ludhiana in the North and in south almost all the places we have toured to garner support for us to fight the Case in Supreme Court. We have lot of positive news coming in from decisions taken in the Supreme Court on cases fought by the Pensioers. It is really encouraging the the Apex Court is giving positive verdicts especially on the cases of Pensioners. One such thing came recently in one of the cases against the Tamil Nadu Government, where it is decided that the pension should be enhanced and revised on par with the others. In Lic also the case has come to Supreme Court and sooner it will be heard and decided.
It is also encouraging that the Management of General Insurance Public Sector industry has taken a positive view of  one more option for Pension in the industry. We may come up with some good news later.
Our case is still not listed and we are checking up every day with the Registrar at Supreme court. Nothing can be done by us but for waiting for the case to be listed before the Bench.
We are now concentrating in building good finance to fight the case at the highest level and are happy to inform you that all the members are responding positively and slowly we are gaining funds to fight our final battle.
In Maduai Our Assn. has impleaded ourselves as a party and it is also coming up for hearing any time.

Our D A has increased by another 67 slabs and there is a proposal by the Management to improve the medical facility for the Pensioners also.
Nothing more to add,

V.A.NAGARAJAN
GENERAL SECRETARY
