The latest update in respect of NCR & NCOA's WP No.1134 of 2018 pending before the Hon. Supreme Court for enhanced pension

Dear friends,

Team NCR & NCOA sincerely thank Shri Parveen Kohli Ji and all those devoted friends, our Honorary Legal Advisor S. Surjit Singh Ji, Sh. Neeraj Bhargava Ji who have helped NCR day and night in providing necessary data, advice, and guidance from time to time. Team also sincerely thank all of you for joining hands with NCR & NCOA in our struggle for an enhanced pension.

All of you are aware that Hon' Supreme Court has constituted a three judges bench for finally deciding Govt & EPFO's SLPs along with all our EPS cases. The Court has fixed 23-03-2021as the next date of hearing and also decided to dispose of the matter by way of regular hearings.

Yesterday our AOR has filed an Impleadment Application in the above two matters along with Written Submissions as the bench would first hear EPFO and Govt. of India.

The EPFO and Govt. of India are being represented by the Attorney General of India as we have seen on the last date of hearing. It is presumed that the matter may attain finality in 2/3 hearings.

Hence, keeping in view the financial position to meet expenses of these hearings and the importance of our case NCR & NCOA have decided to engage Shri Kapil Sibbal as our Senior Counsel in these matters.

Let's all pray for the best. Thanks and regards,

Team NCR & NCOA
