OROP: Have decided not to accept recommendations on pension hike, Centre to SC
Centre on Thursday told the Supreme Court that it has decided not to accept recommendations for enhancing pension by 10 per cent to retired regular captains of the Army in accordance with the One Rank One Pension scheme (OROP). A bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and justices Sanjay Kumar and Manmohan was apprised about the non-acceptance of recommendations on pension hike by Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Aishwarya Bhati, who appeared for the Centre.
The top court was hearing an appeal of the Centre challenging an order of December 7, 2021 of the Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT) at Kochi.
According to the AFT order, the central government was to take a decision on the pension payable to the retired regular captains.
«We have made a decision and we have not accepted the recommendations,» the ASG said.
The bench then asked the counsel appearing for retired Army captains including M Gopalan Nair, who are fighting for enhanced pension, to challenge the non-acceptance of the recommendations as the time is the essence in such matters.
