SC to govt : Give plan for welfare of elderly
The Supreme Court on Friday expressedconcern for the over 10 crore senior citizens inthe country ,a majority of whom are deprived oflove, care and respect by their kin in a fast-paced world. The SC asked the Centre for aroadmap to provide them basic facilities likeshelter, food and health care.The concern of abench of Chief Justice T S Thakur and JusticesR Banumathi and U U Lalit was palpable asformer law minister and Congress leaderAshwani Kumar, who personally filed the PIL,narrated the pitiable condition in which the agedfind themselves.
“We are a trillion dollar economy and yetthe central government allocates just Rs 25crore for welfare of the aged. Of this, morethan half does not get spent. Mohini Giri’s reporton welfare of senior citizens was given in 2011.It is yet to be acted upon,” Kumar said. “Atpresent, India has a population of 10.38 croresenior citizens. Their number is going toincrease to 14.3 crore by 2021. It is my personalexperience that their children neglect them themost to the extent that in some cases, theyare dependent on neighbours for food...” headded.
Kumar said there were several welfareschemes for the elderly but successivegovernments’ lack of concern and lethargytowards this section of the population hadrendered these schemes nonoperational anddefunct over the years.
The court asked Kumar whether any fundswere being allocated by big companies underthe corporate social responsibility head. Thepetitioner said not a single penny had comeforth for this purpose.

We reiterate our submissions made in ourMemorandum of even No. dated 01.03.2016,and once again seek your intervention in thematter, to ameliorate the suffering of a largenumber of Pre-2006 Pensioners and grant themthe benefit of up-graded posts keeping in viewthe submission made in our Memorandumdated 01-03 - 2016 and the additionalsubmissions made hereunder:
1. The issue was discussed as Agenda itemNo.4 in the Meeting of JCM Staff Side with youon 10-3- 2016, wherein you had very kindlyagreed to reconsider the matter as indicated inthe following records of the meeting:
2. Grant of modified parity to all those whoretired prior to 1.1.2006 with reference to theupgraded post : The Staff Side stated that theDepartment of Pension has taken a very narrowview of the matter and the cases are draggedto the courts of law. The very spirit of therecommendation of the 5th CPC to bring aboutat least modified parity if not full parity has notbeen appreciated by the Govt. The issue wasdiscussed at length. The official side pointedout the decisions of the Court in favour of theposition taken by the Government in the caseof K.S. Krishnaswamy in CA No.3174/2006,

which has been upheld by the HonourableGujarat High Court. In reply, the Staff Sidepointed out that the said decisions quoted bythe official side had come about due to thephrase employed while issuing the original orderviz. corresponding replacement scale. Aftersome discussions, the Chairman agreed tolook into the matter afresh and revisit the orderof the Department of Pension in the matter.
3. It may be submitted that, the dates fromwhich the various posts were upgraded ormerged with higher grades, i.e. w.e.f. 1-1- 1996and 1-1- 2006, were quite arbitrary as far asthe reasons for up-gradation were concerned.These cut-off dates could not be used as thereason for depriving the pensioners the benefitof upgrading or merger even at the minimumlevel of the corresponding scales from whichthe Pensioners had retired,as mentioned indetail in our Memorandum dated 24-2- 2016and as held by CAT Chandigarh in theirjudgements in the cases cited below and upheldby the Hon’ble High Court Chandigarh and bythe Hon’ble Supreme Court in SLP (CC) No.22402/2015.
4. a) Hon. Supreme Court of India haddismissed the SLP (CC) No. 22402/2015 ofUnion of India, Ministry of Railways on 05-01-2016 against the common order dated 29-1-2015 of Hon’ble High Court, Chandigarh in CWPNo. 8563 of 2014 (UOI & Ors. VS. Darshan LalBali & Ors.), 2005 of 2014 (UOI Vs Tilak Raj &Ors.) and 25072 of 2014 (Banarsi Das & Anr).
b) In the said Judgment the Courts had directedthe Railways to give the benefit of up- gradationof posts for the Revision of Pension to the Pre-1996 Pensioners and Pre-2006 Pensioners.
c) Ministry of Railway/ Railway Board had sincethen decided to implement the said judgmentof Hon’ble High Court Chandigarh (vide theirorders No. PC-III/2013/CTC- 1/4 dated 1-2-2016) for the applicants only and directed theGeneral Manager Northern Railway to take the
necessary action in this regard immediately andconfirm at the earliest.
c) Confining the said benefit of up-gradationonly to the applicants while denying the sameto the other Pre-2006 Pensioners, isdiscriminatory and against the settled law ofnatural justice as it violates Articles 14 and 39of the Constitution of India.
Sir, Orders and directions passed by theHon’ble Supreme Court, apply equally, to thoseas well, who are “similarly placed” but who wereneither Petitioners nor Respondents in the caseconcerned before the Hon’ble Supreme Court.Hon’ble Supreme Court judgement in case ofAMRIT LAL BERRY Vs.COLLECTOR OFCENTRAL EXCISE, NEW DELHI & ORS.DATE OF JUDGMENT10/12/1974 CITATION:1975 AIR 538,1975 SCR (2) 960 1974 SCC (4)714 & the high court of Uttarakhand at NainitalJudgement in Writ Petition (S/B) No. 207 of2012 Dr. Jitendra Prasad and others VersusChairman ISRO, Secretary Department ofSpace ISRO HQ, Antariksh Bhawan, New BELRoad, Bengaluru and others dated 03.08.2012may please be referred.

Sub:- Incorporation of Aadhaar number in
fresh Pension Payment Orders
(PPOs).
Attention is invited to CPAO OM No. CPAO/Tech/Jeevan Pramaan/2015-16/1770 dated07.03.2016 (Annex-I) and D.O. letter dated30.07.2015 from CGA to all Secretaries (CivilMinistries) regarding incorporation of Aadhaarnumber in the fresh PPOs (Annex-II). In thiscontext, it is observed that progress inincorporation of Aadhaar numbers in the freshPPOs has been very low. For the period July,2015 to March, 2016 out of 25608 total freshPPOs received in CPAO, only in 1907 (7.45%)cases Aadhaar number was mentioned.
In view of Aadhaar Cards numbers crossing100 crores marks and implementation ofAadhaar linked Biometric Attendance Systemin most of the central government offices, it isvery unlikely that a retiring government servantwill not have Aadhaar number. Further, DOPTvide its OM No. Z-20025/9/2014-Estt (AL) dated-03.11.2014 (Annex-Ill) had requested allMinistries/Departments to ensure that theService Books of all employees have an entryof Aadhaar number.
In view of above, all Pr. CCAs/CCAs/CAsare once again requested to take up the matterwith JS (Admn) and Heads of Offices ofrespective Ministries/ Departments to arrangefor providing Aadhaar number in all pensionpapers to be submitted to concerned PAOs toenable them to incorporate the same in PPObooklets.

record of the deceased employees is notpreserved,it is a proved fact that the deceasrdwas an employee under the Respondents ashis son ws given a compassionate appointment.If service record of the deceased employee isnot available, the service record should bereconstructed in view of RBE No.86 of 2006,dated 18.07.2008 by adopting appropriate waysand means. The only reason for denying familypension to the Applicant is that, the servicerecord is destroyed after 3 years of death of theex-employees and the status of the ex-employee as permenent or not cannot bedecided. Also the entitlement to get pensioncannot be decided.
It is very sad to note that the service record ofthe deceased employee was destroyed withoutfollowing the relevant rules. Hence it was held :
Held : “It is obvious that the Applicant is entitledto get the family pension since her son wasappointed on compassionate ground and hencethis fact is sufficient to hold that the deceasedwas in regular employment of the Respondentat the time of his death”. In the result, this OA ispartly allowed. Respondents are directed toreconstruct the record of the deceased by virtueof provisions of RBE No. 86 of 2008, dated18.07.2008 within a period of three months fromthe date of receipt of this order.
On reconstruction of service record of thedeceased, the Respondents shall fix the familypension of the Applicant by passing appropriateoffice order within a period of two months underintimation to the Applicant. The arrears of familypension is restricted to 3 years only prior to thedate of order fixing the family pension. Interestat the rate of 9% per annum is payable to theApplicant on the arrears to be paid to her fromthe date of grant of family pension till it is paid.

In themeantime, the son of the deceased wasappointed on compassionate ground on12.07.1980. This OA is filed for setting asidethe impugned letter, dated 19.05.2011 rejectingher claim for family pension and grant familypension from 07.01.1978 the date of death ofthe ex-employee and husband of the petitioner,the leave salary,gratuity, etc. and other reliefsas deemed fit.
The Tribunal heard both side and observed thefollowing :
The point that arises for consideration is,wheather the Applicant is eligible for familypension. If so, the recourse to be adopted forfixation of the family penion by the Respondentsin the absence of the non-availability of therelevant service record.The tribunal firstconsidered the limitation in filling this OA. Afterconsiderig the details of the case, it was heldthat “it is settled law that pesion/family pensiongives rise to recurring cause of action, if denied.This being so, although the Applicantapproached the Tribunal for the first time in theprevious OA in which it was directed to approachthe Respondents for relief in the year 2010, thesame was entertained and disposed of as notedabove. For the above reasons, it cannot be saidthat the present OA is barred by limitation”.
The son of the ex-employee was appointedon compassionate ground on temporary basiswhich is a proof, the deceased was serving withRespondents. There are clear instructions fromRailway Board for preserving the records. It is tobe destroyed preserving it for few years.Appendix IX under Para.121 captioned as “Periodfor which records in accounts offices are topreserved is to be followed”. Though the service

Smt. Jainabai v. General Manager, CentralRailway and another, 3/2016. Date ofjudgment 05.03.2015. O.A.No. 2198 of 2012(Bombay Bench at Nagpur) :
Delay Should not be taken in grant offamily pension as it is a social obligationon the part of the employer. If the recordsof the deceased employee is not availableor destroyed due to the long passage oftime, the records should be reconstructedfor payment of family pension.In this case,the request for family pension arose from1985 and as the Applicant approached theTribunal after a very long time, she is notentitled to claim the interest on the arrearsof family pension and other retiral benefits
Facts : The Applicant herein is the widow ofone Shri Bhura Patil Late Bhura worked as yardKhalasi in Nagpur Division of Central Railwayand died on 19.8.1985. The Applicant tried herlevel best to get her family pension and alsothe retiral benefits of her late husband. Shefiled earlier O.A.No.2089 of 2011 for the benefitswhich was disposed of directing theRespondent as per law. That representationwas disposed of on the ground of non-availability of records due to the passage oflong time after the death of her husband.Challenging the reply, this OA is filed on variousgrounds praying for setting aside the reply,dated 27-08-2012 whereby her claim wasrejected and payment of relief as noted above.The Tribunal after hearing both sides andchecking the records passed a reasoned order.Held: The only point involved is in regard tothe status/dependency of the Applicant to claimthe family pension and the aspect of the non-availability of service register and other relevantrecords. The cryptic reply does not state anyreasons to come to the conclusion that theApplicant failed to prove her dependency andeligiblity. That impugned letter, dated 27-08-2012 is reproduced in the judgment. The recordshows production of seven documents by theApplicant to sustain her case. The copy of the
provident fund slip of the deceased shows thatthe case of the Applicant as a nominee of thedeceased is proved. In spite of it, theRespondents denied her claim only on theground of non-availability of service record ofthe deceased, the husband of the Applicantwithout any serious consideration of thedocuments produced.
Even though the marriage certificate of theApplicant is not produced, the Tribunal held thatApplicant is the legally wedded wife of thedeceased employee. Even though, sherepresented for her claim belatedly byrepresentation, dated 02.02.2011, it cannot bedismissed as the settled position is that, claimfor pension gives rise to continued/recurringcasuse of action.
Even though,belated submission ofApplication beyond one year cannot beaccepted under Section 21 of the AT Act, thefamily pension being a recurring one everymonth, hence, cannot be rejected on accountof delay. Further, in the previous OA, theRespondents did not raise such a contentionand hence that contention cannot be allowedin the present OA submitted due to the rejectionof her earlier OA by the Respondents. Further,the ground of rejection of her request by theRespondents for not proving her as thedependent wife of the deceased cannot beraised. The Respondents cannot submit thatthe records of her deceased husband is notavailable as it is their obligation to fix familypension even if the record is not readily availbaleby preparing fresh records by speaking to thepeople concerned in the department.TheApplicant place reliance on the RBE No. 86 of2008, dated 18.07.2008. To state so, that RBEletter is captioned as “Avoidance of delay infinalization of terminal benefits-loss of serviceBook”. That RBE letter is reproduced in thejudgment for clarity.
The sevice records of the deceasedemployee should be reconstructed fixing theconcerned official for not maintaining/losing thatrecord. Instructions to preserve valid and

SHANGHAI (China) :
VISIT PARENTS OR PAY FOR IT
Shanghai residents who fail to visit their elderlyparents regularly may have their names added toa creadit blacklist that could make it difficult forthem to apply for jobs and loans, and even impacttheir eligibility for welfare. The move is the latestthe city has made to encourage people tofrequently visit elderly parents and ensure theyare cared for, both physically and mentally. Parentswho think their childern aren’t showing sufficentfilial piety - a major aspect of Confucian tradition-can take them to court. Punishments include ablack mark on their credit record, making it moredifficult to open a bank account, or even registerfor a library card, law office deputy director LuoPeixin says. Official statistics show that 30% ofShanghai’s population is over the age of 60, twicethe national average. Today’s elderly have fewerrelatives to look after them than the previousgenerations, and the goverment wants to ensuretheir kids are good to them.
