[ss sohi]

Copy of  Msg From Retired Defence Officers Association,

The IV CPC Rank Pay Case was finally heard today ie 04 Sept 2012, in Court no 7, in the court of Hon’ble Justices RM Lodha, TS Thakur and Anil S Dave. The appeal file by UOI for recall of order of the Hon’ble Court dated 08 March 2010 was dismissed by the Court. The court upheld its order of 08 Mar 2010. The Solicitor General spent marathon four  hrs to convince the court about the legitimate deduction of the rank pay but was not able to justify the deduction of rank pay and as  to fitment of pay of AF officer vis a vis a civilian offr drawing same basic pay as on 1/1/1986.

 

The said order will be applicable to all affected offrs of the AF wef 01/01/1986 to 01/01/2006 across board.  It would also be applicable to all pending cases in various courts and AFT’s across the country on the subject case.

 

The interest will be applicable @ 6% wef 01/01/2006 and not 1986. This is the only change made by the court. The court has also directed that all arrears should be paid within outer limit of 3 months from today ie 04 Sept 2012.

 

So, the pay and pension of all affected officers of the AF are set to revise from 01/01/1986.

 

Finally Three Cheers!! SATYAMEV JAYATE
