ON LAWSUIT PENDING

[MOHAN P]

Forwarded just for information;

A lawsuit that outlived its petitioners!

This was no ordinary lawsuit.

It was the last hope for those who had dedicated their youth to the banks,

and in their old age, only asked for a pension —

*not charity, but their rightful due.*

*The pension scheme was introduced in 1995.*

Back then, it was said — *“Now old age is secure.”*

But no one mentioned that this security would remain stagnant,

that the pension would be like frozen water —

time would change, inflation would rise, medicines would become expensive,

but the pension… the pension would not change.

*Then the lawsuit began.*

It reached the Supreme Court.

It was said — “Justice will be served.”

But the clock of justice showed a different time.

The case dragged on…

Hearings were postponed…

Date after date,

and between each date,

a petitioner would die.

*Today, the situation is that almost all the petitioners in this case have died.*

One is perhaps still alive —

or maybe by the next hearing, even he

will be listed as “deceased.”

*And the court will open the file and ask:*

“Are the parties present?”

*What kind of justice is this?*

This is a case where

the issue is alive,

the arguments are alive,

the lawyers are alive,

but those for whom everything was intended —

they are dead.

What kind of justice is this where

the judgment comes so late that

there is no one left to hear it?

It is said —

“There may be delay in law, but not injustice.”

But here, the delay itself became the injustice.

The irony is that the system is still confident.

The court will say —

“Legal heirs are present,

they will receive the relief.”

But the question is —

since when did a pension become an inheritable asset?  *The pension was meant for that old man*

who stood in line outside the hospital,

it was for that widow

who meticulously calculated her monthly EMI and medication costs,

it was for that elderly person

who wanted to live with dignity.

Even if the heirs receive the money,

it won't bring back the life

that was lost in waiting.

*A cruel reality*

The pension scheme was discontinued after 2010.

This means:

No new pensioners will be added,

the existing ones are dwindling every day,

and the lawsuit... is still ongoing.

*It seems the system has adopted a strategy —*

“Let the lawsuit drag on, the petitioners will die out on their own.”

This is not justice,

this is a denial of justice through delay.

What will history record?

*History will record that in India there was a lawsuit whose all the parties had died before the verdict was delivered.*

And then the question will be asked:

For whom was the justice?

For the living, or for the files?

If justice arrives so late

that it can only be placed on graves,

then it is not called justice —

it is called institutional failure.

Finally, a bitter question:

When the last pensioner is gone,

and the verdict is delivered,

to whom will the court say:

“You have won.”

Perhaps then it will be understood that

the greatest defeat of justice

is not injustice —

it is indifference.

First of all, who is responsible for making senior citizens run to courts for justice?

Shouldn't the judicial system has any responsibility and accountable to the citizens, as per constitution of India, which give protection to them in any ordinary circumstances ?

Do the judiciary is only for the politicians / highly influential people and protect them by bye-passing the citizens' rights to get justice ?

It's all because judgements are not rendered based on the facts before them but delivered after reading between the lines in the facts which are fabricated by the councils of the opponents, ofcource and obviously, delaying of justice is the fatty feed of the advocates.

Who will say no for a showering money from the litigants. 

Credibility in getting justice through present day proceedings led by the advocates on both parties / side of the litigants will become null and void, when judgements are delivered after many decades to heirs and their heirs and their heirs and so on so forth.

When polity gets orders within hours after their petitions, out of turn of the routines of the court procedures, why not a common citizen, who bear the cost of the pay scales through their taxes to the govt, could not get any final orders even after decades after filing the suits / writs, is a million dollars question !? is it not an injustice ?

Delayed justice is equal to denial of justice.

God is there for everyone and is watching all happenings and mishappenings, will only have to render justice, in this kaliyuga.

Please forward this to the CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA, PRIME MINISTER, FINANCE MINISTER AND THE DFS. MAY THIS OPEN THEIR EYES TO THE CRUEL REALITY OF THE INJUSTICE AND INDIFFERENCE BEING METED OUT TO THE HAPLESS BANK PENSIONERS. IT IS A SHAME ON THIS SYSTEM THAT ONE CASE TO BE ADJUDICATED AT THE EARLIEST IS BEING DRAGGED ON AND ON FOR EONS AND GOD ONLY KNOWS WHEN THE FINAL VERDICT WILL ARRIVE BY WHICH TIME EVEN THE FINAL BENEFICIARY WOULD HAVE REACHED HIS HEAVENLY ABODE AND WOULD BE LAUGHING FROM THERE AT THIS IDIOTIC SYSTEM

The verdict may not be in favour of pension updation unless it is established before Honb'le SC that pension updation clause is incorporated in EPR 1995.

It is well known fact that the union leaders are responsible for driving the seniors to courts after courts, who stood shoulder to shoulder, along with these present leaders, who still clinging to the gumned chairs and personally enjoying the fruits of being a leader, and created all miscarriages in all BPS since 5th BPS.

Summarily, these leaders are only responsible without any responsibility and accountability to the caders and whose subscriptions and levy corpus for meeting out all litigations in various courts, without thinking of correcting their own mischiefs in the past and without thinking of any amicable and mutually beneficial / acceptable solutions to end all law suits through out of court settlements.
