IV CPC Rank Pay Case: Returns on investment & SANNU KI.
I have read all the comments, advisory /suggestive/derogatory
as to what RDOA should do. The legal cell of RDOA is capable and competent. If
one feels that an option has not been thought over then you are sadly mistaken.
Line of action taken will be in the best interest of the Veterans.
There are many officers of have filed cases in courts
throughout India by paying a hefty amount to the lawyer with a undertaking to
give 10% of the arrear amount when realized. In stark comparison RDOA has only
charged Rs 500/- as membership fees and has now asked for Rs 1000/- to meet the
fees of the advocates handling the case. For those who do not know; the legal
fees of advocates in the Supreme Court range anywhere between Rs 50000/- to Rs
4 to 5 lacs per hearing. Going by that RDOA and others should have shelled out
Rs 20 lacs by now. That’s not so. The advocates know that there is a cause and
justified hence their willingness to help.
What are the gains! By fair estimates and calculations every
officer is set to gain Rs 4 to 5 lacs and for some the returns may be still
higher who have gone through IV CPC, V CPC and VI CPC. The arrears of pension
itself work out to be Rs 4 lacs. Is then Rs 1500/- a very big amount for the
return on investment. I do not think so. It
is the attitude problem. Over 70000 officers are affected.
On the other hand there are many who are willing to contribute
much more in tens of thousands and have done so. There are others who will
derive no benefit from the case but have contributed liberally to the cause
that here is an organization which is all set to sort out past evils of the
Govt of India against its military veterans.
No share market/ kitty party can give more returns. Plus the
6% interest meter is on. There is yet another category of people who are fence
sitters. Why should I become a member of RDOA or go to court. When others will
get so will I? Still others who say ‘SANNU KI’?
In the end I can only say that:
‘If people criticize
you, hurt you, or shout at you, do not be bothered. Just remember in every game
the audience makes noise and not the players. RDOA is the player.
SECY RDOA
