TO: LEADING REGISTERED LEGAL ORGANISATIONS/FIRMS /Advocates//SOLICITORS/SOCIAL AND WELFARE ORGANISATIONS /ORGANISATIONS STANDING FOR ELDERLY CARE
Dear Sirs
I am one of about 65 lacs EPS 95 PENSIONERS scattered all over the country. We are fighting for justice invoking our fundamental right to live, lead respectable lives with a decent pension. Today we are not able to make a living as we are post 60 years of age more so even 70 or 8Os. All of us retired at different points in time and most of us are receiving a paltry pension of Rs1000/- or more in certain cases. One can imagine our lives with this pension without Medical facilities.
Brief Background :
We got a favorable order from Hon'ble Kerala High court which directed EPFO to pay our due based on enhanced pension with arrears. The condition being the members /petitioners have to pay the total one side PF received from EPFO with INTEREST to EPFO. The other Hon'ble High courts have also passed a similar verdict in EPS 95 pensioners /petitioners. Meanwhile, EPFO contested the KERALA high court order facing rejection ( then with review /revisions /SLP with the Hon'ble Supreme court. While the Kerala court rejected EPFO the appeal, SC has after hearings constituting a larger (3 member bench). The case is likely to come up for hearing on 4.3.2022. No. cases are pending before SC. Attorney general SRI KK VENUGOPAL JEE also appeared for the Government and argued in hearings before.
Now the approach
My opinion is we are scattered and despite our few organizations like that of PRAVEEN KOHLI'S EPS 95 (SEWA GROUP II), EPS 95NATIONAL AGITATION COMMITTEE(NAC) grievances redressal forum SEWA GROUP, NAC ....etc are also putting up a fight to help us. However, we have no oneness as such or pivotal point to take this cause effectively. Though updates are on Facebook etc yet we are not aware of the arguments etc.
I am of the view that if we are able to Put up and argue with the help of SENIOR COUNSEL(S) at SC who have demeanor and understanding, we can certainly win.
