ANOTHER SPANNER PROPOSED BY UOI: IV CPC RANK PAY CASE

The UOI has suggested another 'spanner' to cause delay in the IV CPC rank pay case.In its affidivit filed the UOI says that the Central Govt is open and willing to constitute an independent commission headed by a retired judge of the Supreme Court to examine the correctness of the implementation of the recommendations by IV CPC related to rank pay as given in para 28.113 of its report and to make recommendations for further improvements to the proceedure for disbursement of pension to retired Armed forces personnel based on Govt orders subsequent to VI CPC recommendations

THIS IS PURE HOGWASH AND ONLY TO DELAY MATTERS. RDOA IS NOT GOING TO BUY THIS LINE OF ACTION.

Further it says:Apart from the enormous financial implications, actual implementation of the Hon'ble Court's order would involve the following stages;
(a) Revision of pay of offrs on 1/1/1986, 1/1/1996, and 1/1/2006 with simultaneous revision of all pay linked allowances/benefits.
(b) Calculation of DA on slab basis from 1/1/1986 to 31/12/1995 is time consuming
(c) Revision of retirement benefits (gratuity, leave encashment)of offrs retiring after 1/1/1986
(d) Revision of pension on 1/1/1986, 1/1/1996, 1/1/2006.
(e) Revision of family pension based on revision of pension of offr
(f) Payments to be made to legal heirs of deceased offrs
(g) Interest @ 6 % per annum for upto 24 yrs in each case will have to be calculated and paid.
This would be a protracted exercise taking a lot of time and involving huge manpower as each case will have to be examined/ calculated individually.

RDOA comment. UOI is responsible for this faux pas and should do the needful and pay the offrs their legitimate dues. The Court should raise the penalty to 18% for causing unnecessary delays in implementing court orders.

Next hearing is due on 18 Jan 2012

IV CPC RANK PAY CASE:APPREHENSIONS

There seems to be lot of apprehensions on the final outcome of the case as well as continued 'tarikh pe tarikh'.All probable documentary evidence related to the case and the deduction of the rank pay is with the court. The UOI has filed a affidavit as to the method of fixation as asked by the court. In the so filed affidavit there were lot of mis representations which have been countered by RDOA in the form of counter affidavit.These have already been posted on the website of Navdeep.Readers can refresh themselves.There is nothing more/gimmick which can be produced by UOI.All facts and figures are before the court.The court has to finally decide.The SG has not been appearing for reasons best known to him /UOI.RDOA is hopeful that the case will finally be decided on 18 Jan 2012. It is already a decided case as per the order of 08 Mar 2010 of the court. Final call on the appeal of UOI has to be taken by the court.Beyond that it's beating a dead horse.

IV CPC Rank Pay Anomaly case Update

The case has been scheduled to be heard on 22 Nov 2011 in the Hon'ble Supreme Court as per the advance listing. As a sequel to the last hearing in which it was stated that all pleadings be completed by 14 Nov 11, RDOA has filed a counter affidivit exposing the blatant lies of the UOI filed in its affidavit. Some of these expose have appeared on Maj Navdeep's site.Needless to say the UOI is misleading the court by comparing higher military scales with lowewr civil scales as is evident from the expose given by Maj Navdeep.

Each ‘Rank’ in the armed forces is a promotion by itself in the pyramidcal hierarchy. In no way two or more ranks can be clubbed in the same scale as has been shown in the illustrations. An attempt has been made by the UOI to mislead the Hon.ble Court. It is not only contemptuous but also malicious to down grade the status and pay and allowances of the commissioned officers of the armed forces and should be admonished vehemently.

We do hope that the Hon'ble Court would be able to see through the game plan of the UOI.

ARMY CHIEF DOB CONTROVERSY

Times Now, last evening discussed about the DOB controversy of COAS, Gen V K Singh. Panelist were Lt Gen (Retd) Hoon, (Retd) Shankar Prasad and Frooq Raza. Gen Hoon said COAS should first resign and then fight for the justice. We beg to differ with him and feel COAS should not resign. He must fight it out. As per Supreme Court's ruling and existing policies School leaving certificate is the proof of Date of Birth. Three retired Chief Justice of India have endorsed the same view. It is very easy to criticize and advise others. We fully endorse the views of Major Raza and suggest that COAS, must knock the door of Court for justice, if required.
