Writ petition No: 1134/2018 filed by NCOA/NCR in Hon Supreme Court on EPF full Pension case. Our members are to become party in the Hon Supreme Court.
Now Attorney General (AG) is appearing for EPFO which makes the case costly and very serious and we have to engage very senior Advocates to the match the stature of AG. AG pleaded in the last sitting to hear and decide the SLP and Review Petition filed by the EPFO before hearing our petition and other SLPs. After hearing AG, Hon SC agreed to his plea.
Now the Advocate on Record (AOR) agreed to add new applicants in the petition with a fee of Rs 200/- per applicant. The list of applicants with details are to be given to the AOR latest by 05.03.2020 so that he can file the documents with the list of applicants in the Hon SC before the next hearing date. The next date of hearing is likely to be on 13.03.2020.
In the case of R C Gupta case (judgment dated 04.10.2016), EPFO has taken the stand that the benefits will be limited to the applicants alone. NCOA and NCR is trying its level best for a general judgment, applicable for all but our AOR advised us not to take any risk at this last moment and make all the members party by name.
A meeting was held at ITO Delhi on 01/03/2020 for the further course of action.
