Those who have followed the blog closely, especially this
post of 27 May 2015, most of the verdicts on pension anomalies emanating out of
the 6th Central Pay Commission stand decided in favour of pensioners
by the Supreme Court, both for military as well as civilian retirees.
An update on the same is as below:
Removal of pension anomaly
from 01-01-2006 rather than 24-09-2012 for pre-2006 retiree Central Government
pensioners: Appeal filed by the Govt stands dismissed by the Supreme Court
in March 2015.
Removal of pension anomaly
between Honorary Naib Subedars who retired prior to 01-01-2006 vis-a-vis those
who retired after 01-01-2006: Appeal filed by the Govt stands dismissed in
May 2015. An unfortunate saga indeed.
Removal of pension anomaly
between Viceroy Commissioned Officers and post-independence Honorary
Commissioned Officers who retired prior to 01-01-2006: Appeal filed by the
Govt stands dismissed in May 2015.
This invariably would result in multiple execution
applications before the Armed Forces Tribunal since most of these verdicts had
not been implemented by the Army HQ/Ministry of Defence as per the time
prescribed even in those cases where there was no stay by any higher court.
It would be in fitness of things if the Army HQ (in
conjunction with Record Offices) keeps lists of affected personnel ready so as
to grant government sanction at the earliest to avoid complications as already
experienced in the cases of disabled soldiers upheld by the Supreme Court. This
is also a good opportunity to oil the implementation machinery well and bring
it in line with the law of the land. Six years after the AFT was created, it is
now clear that disregard of judicial orders may not be taken so lightly, as was
the case till now.

Dear Maj Navdeep
Thanks for the update.What about the requirement of 33 years of service for full pension? or is this also automatically covered by the 01 Jan 2006 instead of Sep 2012 implementation order
I also would request to give a though to the question that there is a deliberate attempt by the MOD to muzzle the Services personnel since there is no union.If this is so AFT alone may not be the solution.There could have also been a statutory military authority akin to Committee of Secretaries ,to give suitable recommendations to the political class, independent of the civil bureaucracy
with best wishes

Thanks, Navdeep. As for Records offices, they are very corrupt and also inefficient.
Maj Navdeep can you comment on UOI moving an application to modify the judgement of SC dated 10 Dec 2014 on bradbanding of Disability pension
Dear Maj. Navdeep,
I refer to the judgment with regards to "Removal of pension anomaly from 01-01-2006 rather than 24-09-2012 for pre-2006 retiree Central Government pensioners". I understand that SC gave the gov't 4 months to roll out and implement the orders, and we're almost there.
So, what can we expect to see the outcome?
thank you
