Dear Maam / Sir,

1. As you are aware, the contempt petition was listed as Item 1 before Tarun Shreedhar (Technical Member)and Pratima Gupta (Judicial Member).

2. We appeared on your behalf and informed the Court that the judgment passed by it had to be complied within 10 weeks which ended on 4th December.

3. DOT submitted that WP had been filed against the judgment before the HC.

4. We pointed out the order passed by the HC and informed the bench that the High Court had directed the Tribunal to proceed if contempt is filed.

5. After perusing the order, the bench observed that the intent of the HC is clear that it had not granted any relief to the Respondents and infact directed Tribunal to proceed with contempt.

6. The bench issued notice in the petition which was accepted by the Counsel present in Court and directed Respondents to file a compliance affidavit within 4 weeks and adjourned the matter to 3rd July.

இன் று தேதியிடப்பட்ட அவமதிப்பு வழக்கு  3.7.24 தேதிக்கு குறிப்பிடப்பட்டுள்ளது. 24 ம் தேதி பதிவு செய்து 29 ம் தேதி  குறிப்பிடப்பட்டது.இந்தத்தேதியில் வராது என்று அப்போதே தெரியும்.ஆகவே தான் வேறு தேதிக்கு தள்ளி வைக்கப்படும் என்று குறிப்பிட்டேன்.ஆனால் பலரும் இன்று வழக்கில்  முடிவு வந்துவிடும் என்று நம்பினார்கள்.  3.7.2024 தேதியும் DOT வழக்கறிஞர் ஆஜராகாவிட்டால் மீண்டும் வேறு தேதி குறிப்பிடப்படும். இது நீதிமன்றம் செயல் முறை.வழக்கு நிதி வசூலாகும் வேகத்தில் வழக்கு நடக்காது. முடியவும் முடியாது தேவையில்லாமல் சிலர் நீதிமன்றம் பற்றி சில அதீத எதிர்பார்ப்புகளை ஏற்படுத்துகின்றனர்.அவமதிப்பு வழக்கு தொடுத்தால் 4 ஆண்டுகள் ஆகும் என்று ஏற்கனவே நமது பொதுச் செயலாளர் எழுதியிருந்ததை நினைவு படுத்த விரும்புகிறேன். க.முத்தியாலு

 Good Evening Comrades.  Our STR Division Meeting held on16-04-2024, Presided  by Com. N.K. Secretary Deenadayalan, Welcomed all. Members allowed to share their views.  The Following  Decision has been taken in the GB Meet . (A Note was circulated  a day in advance to our Members).

.... WHAT IS AHEAD....

THE OPTIONS BEFORE THE PENSIONERS...

....ONE is to seek Revision of Pension only through the Judiciary.

.... THE SECOND is to go in for Negotiation/Request/ or Pressurise DOT/GOVT.

These are views expressed by Members/Activists. Also there are Reactions/Outbursts on the Approach of the Pensioners' Associations. Diffidence among the Members on the delay is but Natural.

AS THINGS STAND TODAY...

Our AIBSNLPWA seems to rely more on the Judiciary.

One or Two Other Associations are against Approaching The Judiciary.

SOME Associations are having A Mixed Approach of reaching out to the Authorities & Also continuing Their Efforts in the Courts.(This is due to the fact that they have No Escape).

IN SUCH A DELICATE POSITION as We are Placed...

1. We have to think aloud in the over-all interests of Pensioners.

2. The PBCAT Judgement is not categorical and gives room for Interpretations. Even in the Legal Opinion placed in the last CWC, Our Lawyer at the end says... His Interpretation only.

3. The PBCAT and Our CHQ both are silent about the Scales in which the Pensioners would be placed. Even if Notional Fixation as suggested, has to be done, there have to be Scales of Pay.

4. *There are Apprehensions among the Post-2017 Retirees and in particular those Nonexecutives/Executives who retired on VRS. 

5. Let us be clear that settlement of the Issue, whether through Court OR Negotiation OR even Unilateral, the DECISION lies with the GOVT/Authorities & We have Limitations.

6. RHETORIC/(STICKING TO My WAY OR No WAY)/OUTRIGHT DENIAL to hear the views of Others would land the Pensioners & Association into difficulties.

7. The Ground Reality is that Pensioners want Improvement in Their Pension &Our AIBSNLPWA should be the HARBINGER in taking the Requisite Steps by adopting A Flexible Approach...

AIBSNLPWA as the largest largest Association should initiate steps for Unity among the Pensioners' Associations. If SUCH STEPS are indicated, then the Pensioners irrespective of affiliation would galvanise the Utmost Unity of Approach.

This kind of Unified Approach, that too in the context of Wage Review going on in BSNL would not only aid in resolving the issue of Pension Revision but also Boosting the Morale of the Members, thereby Strengthening Our Organisation.

In the light of the foregoing, *The GB/STR Division resolves that Our  AIBSNLPWA being the biggest Pensioners Association has to take a lead to be in the Forefront and Our CHQ has to explore all the possibilities for the settlement of Pension Revision without Anomaly in addition to fighting legally in the Courts, considering the prevailing situation and try to get maximum fitment by forging Unity with All Concerned Organizations (OR Our Own Intiative through Negotiation with DOT)..With Regards, N.S.Deenadayalan
