These are very welcome updates and would be of great value to all affected amongst followers of this blog.

It would also be useful to learn of the status of the issue concerning pension of Lt Col retirees withg more than 26 years of service as highlighted at para 4 of this blog post.

If there is any litigation or representation under process on that matter, others affected could also join in and contribute their mite.

RDOA could play an important and central co-ordinating role in resolving this matter.

Absolutely great work by RDOA. Way to go.
Those not yet a member may seriously introspect their action. If not now, when?

@ Ref Sl.no.4:
"Major's pension case for payment of minimum guaranteed pension wef 1/1/2006..."

Please confirm if it is the same case (nos. 8875 & 8876 of 2011-Lt Cdr Avtar Singh & Sqn Ldr Vinod Kr) for which HSC has now fixed next DOH as 27.9.13.

If not, then please give details of this case under reference.

Develoments related to Para 6 needs to be followed by all Lt Cols who retired prior to 16th December 2004 with more than 26 years of service.

The background of the case cited by RDOA is not known i.e. whether it came to Hon'ble Supreme Court from an AFT or an Hon'ble High Court.

Officers who took premature retirement had to forgo disability pension as it was a clause to be eligible to apply for premature retirement prior to 2006.in my own case i was finding difficulty in performing my duties due to medical problems& applied for premature retirement in 2003. Release medical board had awarded 20% disability but was not eligible being premature retirement.RDOA is requested to take up similar cases also atleast Wef 01-01-2006.I am a member of RDOA My e mail id is maj.rajagopalan@gmail.com.Will be grateful if some one can guide me in initiating a case if there are any favourable previous judgements.Major Rajagopalan C.

I am repeat posting of my comment regarding the Update " Broad banding of disability pension in the case of Lt Gen Vijay Oberoi has been rescheduled for another day. Next date of hearing will be intimated in due course. RDOA is party to the case."
Supreme Court Website states "No further Instructions for Listing the Case" Last hearing was more than 10 months back that is., 07 Jan 2013.
May I request RDOA to give informed position as it states that it is party to the Case. What is keeping SC from listing the case for such a long time???
