After exchanging pleasantries,
our leaders asked about the present status of pension revision recalling the

other formalities are over, the percentage shall be decided shortly by Hon MoC

For this our leaders were
informed that consultation is still on and we can't say how much time it will
take.
The above is the official

Most of you may be aware that
we have one source which has direct access with Telecom Secretary .
Our Vice-President Com R S N

When there was interaction
between the Telecom secretary and our source, the former said to have conveyed
that he will decide the issue of pension revision and take necessary follow up

Delays are undue. Assurances

have to wait and watch.

Director (Estt.) was also present.
Mr.SanjoyGhose, SrAdv appeared on our behalf and argued the matter. Thereafter, the other side argued for some time. They submitted that IDA scale is higher and so now the pensioners cannot claim parity. They further relied on the judgments of Ernakulam, Hyderabad and Bangalore bench.
The Hon judge was interacting with the lawyers.
In rejoinder, we submitted before the Court that the Government had assured us to pay pension on IDA scale and grant of IDA scale is in terms of judgment of the SC. We also distinguished the judgments of other benches.
The bench has recorded that arguments have been addressed by both sides. It has adjourned the matter to Thursday only to hear any further submissions which any party wishes to make.
