Dear Mr. Chaudhry,
yes. but not automatically as the case was files by individuals and the association has financed it. Managment has taken a stand that only those who get the order from court can only be given. That is why we have filed a case at Chennai High court and waiting for the hearing and order. once that comes, we will be able to get the pension for all our members.

SVRS OPTEES CASE AT SUPREME COURT
--------------------------------------------------------------
Review Petition in the above Case is listed before the same Bench for " In Chamber" hearing at 1.45 PM on Tuesday the 7th April 2015.
Please note that this is not a regular hearing and Judges just go through the Petition and decide whether the matter warrants further regular hearing by way of arguments in Open Court. If found suitable, an Order to the effect is passed.
Friends, we have a good Case based on merits as well as facts but ultimately it's the Bench which takes a decision in "5 minutes" and passes very short order either "Admitted or Dismissed".
It's time for prayers !!!
