Friends, we will have to contribute for MACP case in which govt. is going to file SLP in Supreme Court against order of Jabalpur High Court. Situation is of "do or die" because chapter will be closed for ever, if govt. wins in Supreme Court.
We don't know how long the case will go in Supreme Court. It may be finalized on very first hearing or may be lingered on very long.
In one case to get stay on DPC vacated, we had to approach Supreme Court. Senior advocate appeared for 3 hearings and charged Rs. 7 lac per hearing. It is in addition to fees & expenses of advocates on record who filed petition. Association remained in deficit of Rs 3 lac in this case for want of sufficient contributions. These 3 lacs were finally shared by 3 officers who were not even to be considered in that DPC. Salute to their spirit.
Such hefty fees will not be easy to bear for only petitioners of this MACP case. This case will not only benefit petitioners but will be beneficial to all.
One more fact is that 100% officers never contribute. Rather I should say that very less of us participate in monetary contributions. Some are who want to contribute but unable to contribute more amount due to their compelling circumstances. However, even a tiny contribution is of great help, if contributed by all. This contribution is not to be made by members of this group only but we have to motivate others also who are not in this group.
Under the circumstances & considering experience of DPC case, we will have to contribute at least Rs 10000/- per member, so that we may be able to have funds in hands at least for 3-4 hearings. Willing officers may also contribute even more. In case of emergency & more requirement, we may have to contribute more later. It is reiterated that even a tiny contribution will be of great help.
Some of officers may already be fighting their cases on this issue. But if we are defeated in Supreme Court, the fate of all other pending cases & future cases in various courts will be the same wether it is for 6600 or 7600.
And also please don't forget to motivate others who are not members of this group. No need to say that this case will benefit all cadres, I.e., promotee ACs, Superintendents, Inspectors & also who joined below one rank to Inspector. Not only it, this case will benefit serving as well as retired officers.
Please also form more whatsapp groups to add other colleagues on this issue.
