MTNL/BSNL PENSIONERS PENSION REVISION – Status of Pension Revision case in Hon. Delhi High Court AS ON 21.11.2024.
The captioned matters were listed today as Items No. 70 & 72, in Court No. 5, before the Bench of Hon. Justice C. Hari Shankar and Hon. Justice Anoop Kumar Mendiratta. Please note that Item 71 was a connected matter.
Mr. Ankur Chhibber, instructed by Ms. Gauri Puri who was virtually present, appeared on behalf of the Respondents. The Additional Solicitor General Mr. Chetan Sharma appeared on behalf of the Petitioners. Mr. Sharma drew the court’s attention to the Impugned Order and highlighted the judgments rendered by the other benches of the Central Administrative Tribunal, which were not dealt with in the Impugned Order.
Upon being inquired by the Bench, whether the Impugned Judgment deals with the judgments rendered by the other benches, Mr. Chhibber fairly pointed out that the Impugned Judgment did not deal with said judgments. However, Mr. Chhibber submitted that in order to explain the rationale behind that omission, the captioned matters have to be heard at length. Further, Mr. Chhibber argued that in the earlier hearings of the captioned matter the Original Applications and the Grounds taken before the other benches of the Ld. Tribunal were highlighted and distinguished from the captioned matters. Further, Written Submissions and a Convenience Compilation were filed by the Respondents wherein a table was placed before the earlier Bench which highlighted the points of difference between the Impugned Order and the judgments of the other benches of the Ld. Tribunal.
Since Hon. Justice Anoop Mendiratta was on leave, the Regular Bench could not be constituted and consequently the matters could not be heard. Therefore, the matters were adjourned to 11.12.2024.
