Clarification on Supreme Court order of 8 Mar 2010

An extract of Supreme Court order dated 08 Mar 2010 on the controversial IV CPC Rank Pay case is reproduced for info of all. Some emails floating on the net are misleading.Kindly ignore.The wording of the court order leaves no element of doubt.

"We have carefully perused the judgment dated 5.10.98 of the learned Single Judge as well as judgment dated 4.7.2003 of the Division Bench of the High Court of Kerela and we respectfully agree with the reasoning given therin for grant of rank pay retrospectively from 1.1.1986. We also direct interest to be paid thereon at 6% p.a. Accordingly, these writ petitions as well as the transfered writ petitions are allowed."

It is amply clear that the interest also becomes applicable from 1.1.1986 retrospectively.

That is a very useful piece of information. Here is a link to the full court order.

Each one of us is aware that a wrong has been done to every single officer of the Armed Forces who were in service on 1.1.1986 in the ranks of Captain to Brigadier.

Each one is aware that the order or 8.3.2010 is unambiguous, never mind the twists that the UoI tries to impart.

My reading of the comments is that people are either frustrated at the delay or are losing hope that a final order would provide the much needed solace - mental and financial.

It is also possible some are wondering how RDOA is so optimistic that the judgment will be in our favour. So their requests for some assurance/morale booster.
