The orders for implementation of the decision taken by the Government
on the recommendations of 6th CPC for revision for pension of past

Welfare’s OM dated 1.9.2008. The provisions of Para 4.2 of this OM were

Delhi in its common order dated 1.11.2011 in four petitions [OA
No.655/2010, 306/2010, 50712010 and 3079/2009] directed that the past
pensioners may be granted, w.e.f. 1.1.2006, a minimum pension
with reference to the fitment table applicable for revision of pay of
serving employees.
3. A large number of representations from pre-2006 pensioners are
being received by the Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare
for extension of benefits similar to what had been allowed in case of OA
No.655/2010 by CAT, Principal Bench, New Delhi.
4. In this context, it is informed that four Writ Petitions were
filed in the High Court of Delhi challenging the order dated 1.11.2011
of Hon’ble CAT in four OAs. These petitions were dismissed on 29.4.2013.
Subsequently, four SLPs were filed in the Hon’ble Supreme Court over
a period of time against the said order of the Hon’ble High Court. Of
the four SLPs, the one pertaining to Central Government SAG (S-29)
Pensioners’ Association which was first in the series of said SLPs, has
since been dismissed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court on 29.7.2013. As
the Review Curative Petition against the said order dated 29.7.2013 also
failed, the Government of India decided to comply with the order by
extending the requisite benefits to the parties involved in the said
SLP. As regards the other three SLPs (Nos.36148-50/2013), Hon’ble
Supreme Court in its order dated 19.11.2013 issued notice and made the
following observation: .
“Learned Counsel for the respondent submits that during the
pendency of these petitions the respondent-writ petitioners shall not
precipitate the matter by filing contempt proceedings either before the
High Court or before the Tribunal. That statement is recorded. “

Court which have been tagged with Civil Appeal No.8875-76/2011 filed by
