UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following O R D E R

Delay condoned.

Application for exemption from filing c/c of the impugned judgment is allowed.

We have heard learned counsel for the parties.

In the course of hearing, a suggestion fell from the Court that considering the limited number of people who are before this Court and whose grievance is that they should be governed by the 1995 Pension Scheme and taking into account that a number of them may have already retired from service, the appellants may explore the possibility of a settlement giving the benefit to the respondents before us of continuing to be governed under the same Scheme.

Learned counsel for the appellants seeks a short accommodation to obtain instructions.

We have made it clear that this would not entail opening a new chapter for all other persons who have never litigated in that behalf.

Learned counsel for the respondents states that as a matter of fact in view of the impugned orders, these respondents are so far being governed by the 1995 Scheme while this may not be so for many others.

List as part heard on 06.11.2019.
