MOST URGENT

Dear Friends,

1. You are aware that our case in the Supreme Court is listed tomorrow on 17th August, 2021 as item no. 11. We have engaged Shri Kapil Sibal, Senior Advocate at a fee of Rs. 17.5 lakh per appearance. In addition, he has been charging Rs. 5.5 lakh per conference. So far, he has held five conferences but was kind enough to charge for one only. But now, he is likely to charge for every conference at this rate.

2. NCR/NCAO have already paid for one day fee + conference charges amounting to 23 lakh. In addition, our AOR has also to be paid for each date and briefing for which he is yet to raise the bill. After making payment for one day, we are left with a balance of less than 40 lakh which would not be sufficient for even two days. We are not sure as to how many days, the case will last but our conservative estimate is that it may take 4 to 5 days.

3. All the members have been waiting for this day and have contributed in the past to ensure that we get our legitimate due pension. You will appreciate that we are pitted against the mighty Government/EPFO who is hell bound to ensure that nobody gets his/her legitimate dues and they are doing everything possible on this earth to ensure success of their ill designs.

4. In the above circumstances, our request to all member associations/associate member associations is to pay another instalment of Rs. 100 per member immediately. It should not happen that in the absence of sufficient finances, we lose our case which is otherwise very strong legally. A few associations have not paid the earlier instalment and they are requested to clear the earlier dues as well.

5. We hope that at this time of emergency, everybody will cooperate and send the contribution in the following account immediately. We are aware that the time given is too short but this beyond our control if we want to win our case.
