It was announced that " we have won the case for the enhanced Pension payable to Lt Cdrs, filed by Cdr Avtar Singh and well fought by Cmde Sukhjinder Singh. The judgment was pronounced this morning by the tribunal bench headed by Justice Mathur and Lt Gen M Naidu. Copy of the judgment will be available only in a couple of days and the same will also be promulgated for your info.The Lt Commanders will now be entitled to a pension of 50% of what the serving Lt Commander in service are drawing. It may make a difference of about Rs 4000 in their pensions" : Message received from Vice Admiral Harinder Singh
Does that mean a judgment is required for every rank starting with
soldiers right up to Lt Gen?
Isn't that ridiculous?

Now that Lt Cdrs got OROP, their pension will be hiked up to 50% of the serving Lt Cdr's pay.
Cdr's pension is still based on the non-OROP basis.
There will be a time when Half of Lt Cdr's pay will be higher than the retired Cdr's pension.
So, a retired Lt Cdr will get more pension than a retired Cdr.
So we will again go to the court pointing out the anomaly.
Then, that will be corrected after a court case.
Then Capt IN Retired will go to go to the court for the same anomally.
Then that will be settled by the court.
Then Commodore will go to court. That will be settled after a court order.
Then, Rear Admiral will go to court. That will be settled with a court order.
( I hope I am right. The Rear of an Admiral is always lower than the Vice of an Admiral! Where does the Vice reside, on the head, I presume! All vices originate in the head, so does the wisdom, I am told. So, the rear end is always lower than the head . Royal Navy, I must admit, was not stupid when they chose the Rear to be lower than the Vice)
Then Vice Admiral will go to court . That will be settled with a court order.
Then Admiral will go to court.
Oh, sorry, he does not have to go to the court. He already got the OROP because, hold your breath: he was on fixed pay and hence the wise G of I Secretary of M of D ( Finance) have already decided that those "human beings" getting a fixed income deserve OROP with out the need for going to court.
Courts are not ASSes ( in spite of what ever our friend Maj Ravi would assert) Government are asses, because courts, in our adversarial system of adjudicating disputes only adjudicates on the issues brought to it on the basis of a complaint received from the Plaintiff.
It is the Government that is full of asses (like you and me, as we were in it for substantial part of our lives)
Once asses, we will remain asses for ever. So, our lives are gone case.
Hope our children escape asininity, unless it is passed through our genes!
We are the Asses, not the laws. SAD.
Law makers could be asses, but not the laws.
