Does this formula not ignore the important factor: “LENGTH OF SERVICE RENDERED BY A PENSIONER IN THE POST AND PAY SCALE FROM WHICH RETIRED?” Whether in the revised or pre-revised pay band or pay scale, the duties and responsibilities of the post last held by a retiree always invariably remain the same, due weightage for the length of the service rendered in it must necessarily be given otherwise it would tantamount to travesty of justice- against all the canons of justice and fair -play. The anomalies are bound to arise when this fact is ignored, either knowingly or unknowingly. The cases for modified parity must, therefore, necessarily rest on the stage of the basic pay in the revised pay band corresponding to the pre-revised last drawn basic-pay from which a pensioner retires, so that the length of service rendered by him in the pre-revised pay scale from which retired, is appropriately given due weight age while determining his/her pension/family pension rate, entitlement and amount etc. etc. It is not clear why the pensioners have been subjected to this singular injustice when it is very clear that the duties and responsibilities of any post last held by a pensioner never change with the change or revision of pay. Invariably they remain the same. The revision of pay/ pay scale/pay-band or pension etc. have no bearing on them and as such the length of service rendered in them by the pensioners must be taken into account in fixation of basic pension/ family pension.
Further, if some basic social and societal factors and parameters are to be given due consideration, as they must in a civilized society, the rate and amount of family pension should not be diminished and the family pension, equal in rate and amount of pension, should continued to be given to the spouse of the deceased pensioner till his/ her death. Perhaps, the Hon’ble Supreme Court could, suo-motu, ask the Government to do the needful in the matter.
