EPS 95 Pensioners Higher Pension Cases Hearing Date
Dear friends, Greetings to all.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to open from 01-07-2021 Thursday, after vocational holidays.
1. The justice Mr.UU.Lalith is posted as ‘National Legalised Authority’ for the support and help of poor and other needy people to provide law support, and will be relieved from the present bench.
The 3 judges bench headed by Mr.UU.Lalith will be re arranged soon.
2. As you all may be well aware that our team of Advocates were on the job and after the final submission by our Advocates as directed by Mr.UU.Lalith bench, (7 Page reply to EPFO’s 661page affidavit) the case has been a fantastic turn towards-pensioners side and all the averments put forth by the EPFO were found to be bogus and not maintainable.
3. In view of the Kerala High Court judgments in RP. 267of 2021 in WPC 26944 of 2019 Dated 08-04-21 and RP.276 of 21 in WPC 30210 of 19 dated 09-04-2021 the review petitions cannot be filed as per law. Hence the same rule is even applicable to SC too and in all fairness SC will also reject the review petition, pending before SC. (kindly go through the judgments in this regard circulated to all)
4. In fact the EPFO and Govt. Advocates Mr.KK.Venugopal and Mr.Aryama Sundaram were briefed by one of our AORs personally regarding their wrong footing in the subject heading Finance matter and further seem to have pointed out that their rejection of enhanced pension was wrong and against Law.
5. The latest Madhya Pradesh High Court Order dated 08-06-2021 is very clear that the word jubjudice is for both petitioners and EPFO. Stoppage of revised pension, when the case is pending is highly condemnable, accordingly the PF Commissioner was fined Rs.5,000/- for the stoppage of enhanced pension and directed to reconsider the revised pension within 15 days. (MPHC judgment posted)
In another case the MP HC directed the EPFO authorities to consider revised pension to the Widow of expired pensioner vide WP. 25459 0f 18 dated 30-11-2018. (implementation portion is not known -old case)
6. As you know the meeting held with the Hon’ble Chief Justice Mr.NV.Ramana at Hyderabad Rajbhavan through our Telangana all pensioners and retired persons Association president and other leaders will definitely fetch a remarkable turn in our case in favour of petitioners. Thanks to the Association executives of Telangana.
7. In Madras High Court, the JAC Executives making all arrangements to face the case, after the normalcy is restored after Corona effect.
Thanks and all the best.
G.Murugaiyan, President, JAC.
