CHQ News : SAB case update at Hon’ble CAT Ernakulam
The OA for demanding the full SAB dues with effect from the date of joining filed by AIGETOA in the name of association admitted at Hon CAT Ernakulam. The earlier case was filed by members of AIGETOA as individuals to avoid complexity in case of rejection as SAB can be termed as an individual benefit also and it was required to be done before 3rd PRC implementation. That case was admitted and DPE, BSNL submitted their reply. Now after becoming a majority recognized association, AIGETOA filed a fresh application at Ernakulam to expedite the process and to cover all the BSNL Recruits irrespective of association or grade as beneficiary.
After initial admission, The case was posted on 01.07.2021.
BSNL Standing counsel admitted that there are definite dues towards SAB contribution and due to paucity of funds, the same has not been extended. Hon’ble Tribunal has directed BSNL to submit a statement showing the amounts due as per the existing scheme in two weeks time. During the hearing, Hon Court also observed that the said amount cannot be denied or delayed and needs to be paid without any delay.
Dear friends, in the membership change window season, long long writeups are coming from various groups containing CR of AIGETOA association in the last 10 months of being the majority. Though it’s laughable and ridiculous that people who were at the helm of the affairs for more than two decades are writing CR of AIGETOA and its leadership for the last 10 months. We also wish to inform you that some splinter groups are also in the quest of defaming AIGETOA.
However, we once again reiterate that we will reply to all these people and splinter groups through action and results. Things have been delayed because of reasons beyond our control and not because of a lack of intent or initiative.
We once again leave it to people to exercise their conscience and recognize what is good and what is bad.
Our legal team is on Job for the replacement of E1 Pay Scale by E2 pay scales as entry-level JTO/JAO scales. We already have obtained a stay on the degradation of Pay Scales in JTO RR and very soon we will be apprising you about some good news on that part also.
We extend our special accolades to the AIGETOA Kerala Legal Team who are taking this issue from the front under the guidance of AIGETOA CHQ.
