Update Rank Pay Case: 11 July 2011

The case came up for hearing today in the court of Justice Aftab Alam & Justice RM Lodha. In the absence of the Solicitor General, since he has put up his resignation, UOI sought fresh date. However Mr Harish Salve appearing for the RDOA and others explained to the court the wrongful deduction of the rank pay in contravention to the recommendations of the IVCPC. The example given by the UOI in its affadivit as asked by the court was argued threadbare and the wrongful deduction was exposed to the court. The point was taken note of by the court.The next date of hearing has been scheduled for 01 Aug 2011.

Interactive session with the Adjutant General

An interactive session was held with the Adjutant General and the Veterans Org on 05 July 2011. It was more related to ECHS for which a seperate post will be given. Some other important issues were also covered. These are:
1.PCDA has agreed to issue fresh PPO to all pre 2006 retirees. The process will take three months time.
2. The AHQ is implementing the judgments given by the AFT relating to pay and allce of the petitioners. DV cases do not fall in this perview.
3. AHQ has taken up case with MoD on the judgment passed by Delhi High court on the issue of review of AFT orders by the Delhi High court since as per AFT Act such cases can only be reviewed in the Supreme Court.
4. AHQ is taking up case with MoD on the implementation of the order on "Broadbanding of Disability pension' to be extended to all affected personnel rather than the individual petitioner who filed the application.
