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

  1. The affidavit of the UOI is an insult to the Supreme Court which has already checked the correctness and gave the judgement for payment of arrears with 6% interest.When the Supreme Court has given this judgement asking for a commission headed by a retired judge is contempt of court.

    RANK PAY CASE STATUS
    Though the case was listed for 18 Jan 2012 , in the Hon'ble Supreme
    Court, it did not get chance to come up for hearing.
    Reason: The case which was partially heard yesterday was contd today
    and took up the whole day for arguments. At the end of the day all
    cases which were scheduled for 18 Jan 2012 were given fresh date of 21
    mar 2012.
