Those who file affidavit in SC claiming banks cannot afford updation, and say merger of DA can be accepted if it is cost neutral, and ask pensioners earning Rs.10000 pension pm to bear Rs.30000 premium are helping themselves with 15-20 lakhs each in the name of PLI.

DETAILED UPDATE 

     MC Singla Pension Updation case and the administrative hurdles facing the upcoming hearing scheduled for April 9, 2026..

Avoidance of Constitutional Bench Diversion:

There was significant concern that the presiding judges, Justices Vikram Nath and Ahsanuddin Amanullah, would be pulled into a 9-judge Constitution Bench for the Sabarimala matter. However, they remain assigned to Court No. 2, meaning the bench remains intact.

The 3-Judge Bench Obstacle: 

Although the judges are available, the registry has currently listed a three-judge bench for Court No. 2 instead of the required two-judge configuration. Since MC Singla is a "part-heard" matter, it can only be concluded by the exact two-judge bench that started it; a third judge cannot legally participate in the middle of the case.

Low Priority Listing: 

Due to the bench configuration shift, the MC Singla case has been pushed down to Serial Number 249 on the cause list. At this position, it is "procedurally invisible" and highly unlikely to be reached before the day ends.

Administrative Shuffle: 

That when bench configurations change, the registry’s algorithm automatically prioritizes fresh admissions and urgent mentions, bumping older civil cases like pension updates to the bottom of the pile.

The Critical Date (April 8): The ultimate fate of the April 9 hearing depends entirely on the final cause list published on the evening of April 8. If the registry splits the bench back into a two-judge configuration for the morning, the case could be fast-tracked for a hearing.

Impact on Pensioners: The update emphasizes the frustration of approximately 800,000 pensioners whose financial relief depends not just on legal arguments, but on the "random luck" of court administrative scheduling.
