Latest Developments in respect of our W.P. No.1875 of 2013
Federation has advised regarding our W.P.No.1875/2013, which is
being heard at Delhi High Court, that our application for change of
prayers made on the basis of SBI Employees' Pension Fund
Regulations 2014 has been allowed by the Hon'ble Judges at the
hearing held on 6th May 2015. The Advocates of the Union
Government, R.B.I and our Bank did not raise any objections on our
above application. The Judges have directed us to file an amended
W.P with our revised prayers within a week. There are no material
changes in our revised prayers. A copy of the order dated 6-05-2015 is
enclosed hereto for your information.
Our amended W.P will be filed by our Advocates within time limit
stipulated in the above order. Our W.P will continue to get listed under
Regular Matters for final hearing on every Monday and Tuesday. It
will be taken up within first five items, when Regular Matters are taken
up. After, the hearing of our above W.P. held on 8-04-2015 no Regular
Matter could not be taken up by the Judges as the Senior Judge was
engaged in the Special Bench daily in the afternoon. Although our
W.P would be listed on 11th and 12th of this month, our case may
not be taken up on these dates, in view of the time limit of one week
stipulated on 6-05-2015 for filing our amended W.P.
An important point which may be observed from the above order
dated 6-05-2015 of the Delhi High Court is the direction stating that
there is no need of counter affidavit because substantive
pleadings remain the same. We are therefore hopeful that our W.P
would be taken up for final hearing on 18th/19th/25th/26th of this
month. We shall keep you advised of the developments.
Order Dt.6-05-2015 passed by the court is given hereunder.
