For the lakhs and lakhs of Pensioners, 17th December is a most important day. It was on this day in 1982, that the Supreme Court Full Bench presided over by Chief Justice V.B.Chandrachud pronounced the judgement in the D.S.Nakera case declaring that ” Pension is no Charity of the Employer and is the right of the Employee which should be considered as Deferred Wage”. This judgement is considered as the “Magna Carta” of the Pensioners in India.
This day, through out the country, the Pensioners and their organisations observe as Pensioners’ Day. This year also the observations of the Pensioners’ Day has been massively participated.
My Warm Greetings to all the pensioners and their organisations on this day. Let us fight together to ensure our rights and and also to settle our justified demands!
