Members are naturally worried about the Outcome of the SC Matter with the Review Petition filed by EPFO

 Members are naturally worried about the Outcome of the SC Matter with the Review Petition filed by EPFO

Members are naturally worried about the outcome of the SC matter. There have been suggestions/ ideas from participants according to their understanding of the matter. I would like to clarify the issue as per my understanding and legal position.

2. As you are aware, hon’ble Supreme Court has tagged all the WPs/contempt petition with the Review Petition filed by EPFO (now it is SLP) and the SLP filed by Govt. against the judgment of KHC dated October 2018. The SLPs are against the quashing of GSR 609 (E) which came into effect w.e.f 1.9.2014. 

The only linkage between the SLPs and WPs is that the cut off date for exercising joint option has been given in the GSR whereas the RC Gupta judgment declares that there cannot be any cut-off date. Further, the SLPs have not linkage at all with the contempt petitions but the Supreme Court, in its wisdom has tagged the contempt petitions also alongwith the SLPs.

3. EPFO/Government intends to get a judgment which would in fact be a review of the RC Gupta. Legally speaking, RC Gupta has attained finality and no review is now possible particularly in view of the fact the no such review of RC Gupta has been filed by Govt. 

4. Till date, all the judgments are in favour of pensioners. In addition to RC Gupta, about 10 SLPs of EPFO/Govt have been dismissed by the Supreme Court in the past. Any finding of the Supreme Court against RC Gupta would mean review of RC Gupta and the earlier SLPs dismissed years back. 

5. Government has been taking a stand that the corpus of EPS is 3.77 lakh crore and implementation of RC Gupta would have an impact of 15 lakh crore. Even though there have been so many ruling of SC that financial viability is no ground for denying pension, but the factual position to be kept in mind is that the annual budget of central government is around 30 lakh crore and the impact, as claimed by the Government is of 50% of annual central budget.

SUPREME COURT OF INDIA O R D E R Review Petition (Civil)Nos.1430-1431 of 2019 in SLP(C)Nos.8658-8659 of 2019

 

SUPREME COURT OF INDIA O R D E R Review Petition (Civil)Nos.1430-1431 of 2019 in SLP(C)Nos.8658-8659 of 2019

SLP(C) Nos.8658-59/2019 challenging the judgment and order dated 12.10.2018 passed by the Division Bench of the High Court of Kerala in Writ Petition (C) 602/2015 and 13120/2015 were dismissed by this Court on 1.4.2019.

Thereafter, SLP(C) Nos. 16721-22/2019 at the instance of Union of India challenging the same judgment dated 12.10.2018 came up before this Court on 12.07.2019. While condoning the delay in preferring the SLPs, this Court directed that said SLPs be listed along with Review Petition (C) Nos.1430-31/2019 (which had since then been preferred against the order dated 01.04.2019 in SLP(C) Nos.8658-59/2019) in open Court.

Mr. C.A. Sundaram, learned Senior Advocate appearing for the petitioners in said Review Petitions invited our attention to the order dated 21.12.2020 passed by another Division Bench of the High Court of Kerala by which the correctness of the earlier decision dated 12.10.2018 was doubted and the matter was referred to Full Bench of the High Court.

Mr. Sundaram, also invited our attention to the decision of this Court in M/s Pawan Hans Ltd. & Ors. vs. Aviation Karmachari Sanghatana & Ors [2020(2)SCALE 194] and specially paragraph 6.6 of the decision.

It was submitted that as a result of the directions issued by the High Court in its order dated 12.10.2018, benefit would get conferred upon employees retrospectively which, in turn, would create great imbalance.

Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and perused the relevant material, in our view SLP(C) Nos.8658-59/2019 call for a closer look. We, therefore, allow these review petitions and recall the order dated 01.04.2018 and direct;

(a) Let SLP(C) Nos.8658-59/2019 along with all connected matters be listed for preliminary hearing before the appropriate Court on 25.02.2021.

(b) Learned counsel appearing for the parties are at liberty to file short synopsis before the next date of hearing.
