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.

There may well be some legal implications for many of the retired Officers becoming bona-fide members of RDOA by furnishing their service particulars / PPO details. Why not consider permitting an online membership based on Facebook/Twitter/e_mail IDs with contribution payments being made by demand draft or other online means?
paypal allows paymenyt via online websites including blogs.
A pay pal donation option button may be placed on this blog for voluntary contributions from people like us who are more than willing to contribute in what ever small way we can.
Could someone advice how can we become members of RDOA?

Hey guys dont vent your anger at RDOA. They are doing the best they can collectively. We all understand the frustration of the way we are being treated by the Govt. We do not make enough for the govt to consider us a vote bank. So lets hope sooner than later as per promises made by RM, Mr. Anthony that this matter will be taken up during the current parliamant session.
Another Rs 1000/- to RDOA. Yes. without a wink of an eye it will be sent; notwithstanding the dubious connivance of 'recognized' parties after the final verdict by the Apex Court.
RDOA has brought the cast o this state; I cannot vouch if the learned lawyers have done the right when the SG's absence was the only reason for "Tarique pe Tarique"; but we have to pay them since it is their livelihood; Please pay them.
Do let me know after the AGM, how much I have to send; it will be sent in a jiffy as soon as I hear.
But remind the leaned lawyers to pay back in same measure when on 04 Sep, the Court gives another date.
My salute to RDOA for the perseverance shown all these years!
Dear Secretary,
I can visualise the feeling of ingratitude from the lengthy note.
Most of us silently echo Gen VK Singh's pain - after going to the SC, he is still unsure whether his year of birth is 1951 (as per legal documents like medical records, casualty reports, matriculation certificate, etc)or 1950 based on some undertaking he rendered in 2006.
We are not sure whether the order of 8-3-2010 will be upheld or whether there would be some other decision.
Most of us do not doubt the experience, legal knowledge, selflessness,magnanimity, and ability of the RDOA's legal team. But most of us wonder why the petitioner's non-appearance is getting away so lightly? Put the shoe on the other foot - if RDOA were the petitioners and our counsel were on their legs elsewhere, would the UoI be as generous?
That is the aspect that RDOA may consider informing the attendees at it AGM.
