Dear friends,
Kindly note that the same Clause 3 1, Part ii) has been included in this Charter, just like the previous Charters, in spite of the Supreme Court declaring it to be ultra vires!
Similarly, the foot-note states that no employee will be adversely affected by the retrospective wage revision.
So the broad day-light robbery of the resigning employees' legally rightful dues, (their arrears and difference in Retirement Benefits); by LIC of India, continues, regardless of the Supreme Court's verdict. Isn't this blatant Contempt of Court?
The Finance Ministry too, toes LIC's line, blissfully unaware!
Is this omission or commission? You decide!

Could you please provide the case law of Supreme Court on ultra vires and the judgment
ReplyDeleteKindly let me know whether you too are an aggrieved ex-employee. If so, I'd like to have your phone number, email id, branch office code, D.O. code, Z.O. code and the Charter Year, under which you have been denied the arrears. I'm compiling a list of all such employees.
