         2.    Supreme Court Judgement dated 08-02-2021 in OA No. 399 of 2021

 

Respected Madam,

          As you are aware the three instalments of Dearness Relief due to Central Government pensioners  during the period 01-01-2020 to 30-06-2021 were frozen  in view of the crisis arising out of Covid-19,          as ordered in the GOI OM first cited. Now the Hon. Supreme Court of India, in the judgement cited above have ordered to refund the amount recovered to State Govt. employees and pensioner of Andhra Pradesh, with 6% interest per annum. It is an indisputable fact that the judgement  of the Apex Court is the law of the land and it is applicable, mutatis mutandis, to all the affected parties without any discrimination. 

This Association requests your goodself to extend the helping hand of the Government to the poorly paid pensioners community by releasing the frozen amount of Dearness relief together with interest as ordered by the Hon. Supreme Court of India. We fervently appeal to you to cause to issue the necessary orders in this regard at the earliest.

 

Thanking you, 

Yours faithfully

G. Saharajan Nair, General Secretary

 

The amount recovered from Govt. employees and pensioners on account of Covid-19 pandemic should be refunded with an interest of 6% per annum. Supreme Court Judgement
