Officials to Evolve A Policy for Reducing Court Cases on Pensions
The Defence Minister
Shri Manohar Parrikar has directed MoD officials to evolve a policy for
reducing court
cases in service matters
including pensions. In a message on the occasion of the Good Governance Day
today, he said, minimization of litigation is a priority and that issues of
cantonments pertaining to land management and civilian interface should also be
resolved without delay.
Following is the full text of the message of the Defence Minister:
“The Government of India
is celebrating 25th December as Good Governance Day. Ministry of Defence takes
pride in joining this occasion for bringing in transparency and accountability
in its working. Greater emphasis is being given to the use of technology in order to make the system prompt and efficient
and to bridge the divide between the Government and the citizens
Ministry of Defence has
adopted a number of Good Governance initiatives like promoting e-Governance,
e-Procurement, Biometric Attendance, Jeevan Pramaan, Digitization of records,
online disposal of Public Grievances and use of online monitoring of the status of Court/Tribunal/NHRC cases. An Intra-MoD
Portal has been developed for supporting these applications in the Ministry.
Directorate General of Defence Estates have made good progress in
digitization of Defence Land records. History division of the Ministry has also
digitized War Records. Several other digitized records viz. Recruitment Rules,
civil lists etc are likely to be placed on our website very soon.
This Ministry is
committed to early implementation of One Rank One Pension for the Armed Forces and measures are being taken for the same.
Minimization of
litigation is a priority and I have instructed the concerned officers to evolve
a policy for reducing court
cases in service matters
including pensions as well as in issues of cantonments pertaining to land
management and civilian interface.
The Public Grievances
are being forwarded to the concerned officers using online methods. In this
context, I have directed all concerned to accord utmost importance to time-
bound disposal of Public Grievances in the Ministry as also regular monitoring
of the pendency of Public Grievances by senior officers.
I welcome you all to
join this celebration and invite your valuable suggestions and ideas to further the cause of Good
Governance. You may post/send your ideas on our email nic-asst.mod@nic.in.”
