Our Advocate has shared the following brief update from today’s hearing:

When the matters were first called, our Advocate, Mr. Ghose, mentioned the issue to the Bench and requested that the cases be taken up. 

Counsel for the UoI was not present at that time, and a passover was sought. 

After the passover, Counsel for the UoI requested that the matters be heard after lunch, but the Court declined due to other time-bound matters. 

Our Advocate then asked for the earliest possible date and a fixed time for hearing. 

The Hon’ble Court has now posted the matters for hearing on 6th January at 2:30 PM.

Com. R. S. N. Murty , CHQ Vice President, and Com. V R K Sharma  from Visakhapatnam met our Hon’ble Union Finance Minister, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, and submitted a detailed representation on Inclusion of pension Revision in TOR to 8th CPC .

As you are aware, the matter was listed today on 27-11-2025 for the Government of India to inform the Court about whether it is agreeable to grant revision of pension to combined service optee pensioners of BSNL by multiplication of existing pension by 2.57 as was done for Central Government employees by the 7th CPC.

When the matter was called out, the Government informed the Court that it cannot grant revision of pension by applying the multiplication factor of 2.57. The Government is adamant on its stand that till PRC recommends an increase in pay for BSNL, the Government of India shall not revise pension of retired employees of BSNL. 

In view of the Government’s stand, the Court will have to finally hear the matter and pass a judgment either allowing or dismissing the writ petition. Since it has already heard the matter in part on the last date, it decided to keep the matter for hearing at the end of its board today. 

Unfortunately, the matter couldn’t be taken up at the end of the board because of paucity of time. However, we mentioned the matter and the Court agreed to give a short date ie 11.12.2025. 

Next date of hearing is 11th Dec, 2025.
