SC has delivered judgment in EPS 95 Higher pension case on 4th November 2022
Congratulations to all
beneficiaries of the land mark judgment of Supreme court on 4th Nov,
2022 in our EPS 95 higher pension case. This case was fought by NCOA/NCR in SC
with full dedication and commitment to secure justice to all EPS 95 scheme
members. Senior most advocates of SC were put to argue our case and lot of
efforts were made at all fronts by NCOA/ NCR to bring this case to the logical
end which was being unnecessarily dragged by EPFO to deny the legitimate right
of the lakhs of employees in spite of the various judgments from different
Hon’ble High courts. NCOA/NCR team, advocate on record Mr Prushottam Sharma
Tripathi, our legal team and experts of this case worked day and night to make
this case strong in court in our favour and demolish the false arguments of
EPFO. Ultimately, we won this case, so we extend our thanks and gratitude to
all those who contributed and helped in any way through funds, advise, legal
support and cooperation at different stages.
Our special thanks to Shri Pravin
Kohli Ji for his great contribution through valuable inputs and advice to make
this uphill task achieved. We also thank and express our gratitude to the Hon’ble
Supreme court for this historical judgment.
