history with enclosures etc. will throw light on the present status of revision of Pension.

BEFORE THE HONOURABLE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA

IN
SLP(C) 005561/2016 dated 22.2.16
SLP(C) 003099/2026 dated 13.2.16
M.C. Singla (dead) Through Legal Representative vs Union of
India, now listed for 13th May, 2022

STATEMENT FILED BY DEPONENT C N Venugopalan, aged 71 years,

son of late Shri K R Narayanan resident of “Nandanam”,
Kesari Junction, N Paravur, Kerala – 683 513

MOST RESPECTFULLY SHEWETH THAT:

1. The deponent is similarly affected person by the act of the respondents in not updating his pension for the past two
decades, he having retired on 20th April, 2001 from Union Bank of India, a similar Public Sector Bank under the
control of the respondent government. He has also functioned as Independent Director, State Bank of Travancore
nominated by the Government during 11.01.2011 to 10.01.2014.
2. He makes this deposition before the Hon’ble Court in person in view of his inability to engage a counsel on account
of financial constraints and inability to travel long distances.
3. He files this statement in the interest of justice as any ruling emanating without a holistic view of facts and of law can
prejudicially affect a vast commune including the deponent who are expropriated their statutorily vested rights besides
jeopardising impartial justice.
4. On the above SLPs on coming up on 20.02.2022 are now posted to 13.05.2022 through the following order:
“ Mr. Rajesh Kumar Gautam, learned counsel appearing for the respondent(s) including Indian Banks’
Association, submits that the Committee which was supposed to consider the representation / claim of
the petitioners and similarly placed persons, is required to be reconstituted, as the Chairman of the
Committee is demitting office.
In the circumstances, we give three months’ time to the Indian Banks’Association to do the needful and
submit appropriate report regarding the decision taken on the proposal.
If final decision cannot be, reached, the Indian Banks’Association must submit interim report before the
next date of hearing.
List these matters after three months.”
5. By its own Legal Circular dated 30.09.2019 [EXHIBIT-D1] Indian Banks’ Association has made its status
known to the world voluntarily that it is disqualified from suing or being sued or impleaded in any manner in Courts.
6. The Pension Scheme in Public Sector Banks including the respondent bank ought to be on the lines of that in
PENSIONERS' PULSE ] 5
 Reserve Bank of India so far as relating to amount of pension, updating, general conditions etc in terms of clause 12
of the Memorandum of Settlement dated 29.10.1993 entered into under the provisions of the Industrial Disputes
Act, 1947 between Indian Banks’Association representing 58 banks including the respondent bank and Workmen
Unions representing employees of such banks, which is appended as EXHIBIT-D2 clause 12 reading verbatim as
“Provisions will be made by a scheme, to be negotiated and settled between the parties to this Settlement by 31st
December, 1993 for applicability, qualifying service, amounts of pension, payment of pension, commutation of
pension, family pension, updating and other general conditions, etc. on the lines as are in force in Reserve Bank of
India”.
7 Pension in Reserve Bank of India was updated by a factor of 3.63 for pensioners who retired prior to 1.11.2002,
by a factor of 2.44 for pensioners who retired during the period from 1.11.2002 to 31.10.2007 and by a factor of
1.76 for pensioners who retired during the period from 1.1.2007 to 31.10.2012 with effect from 01.03.2019 as
per EXHIBIT-D3 sanction F No.11/5/2001-IR dated 05.03.2019 from the respondent government rendering
the non-updating of pension in Public Sector Banks on similar lines breach of the EXHIBIT-D2 Settlement dated
29.10.1993.
8. Regulation 35 (1) of the Bank Employees Pension Regulations, 1995 including that of the respondent bank which
initially stood as “ In respect of employees who retired between the 1st day of January, 1986 but before
31st day of October, 1987, basic pension and additional pension will be updated as per the formulae
given in Appendix-I” confining the updating to employees who retired from 01.01.1986 to 31.10.1987 was later
amended in 2002 as “Basic pension and additional pension, wherever applicable shall be updated as per
the formulae given in Appendix -1” making the updating applicable to employees retiring on any date and
further emphatically stating that “wherever applicable shall be updated ’’ by replacing the words “ will be
updated”. Accordingly, the non- updating of pension in Public Sector Banks is in derogation of this regulation 35
(1).
9. Regulations 56 termed as residuary regulation reading as “In case of doubt in the matter of application of these
regulations, regard may be had to the corresponding provisions of Central Civil Services Rules, 1972 or Central
Civil Services (Commutation of Pension) Rules, 1981 applicable for Central Government employees with such
exceptions and modifications as the Bank, with the previous sanction of the Central Government, may from time to
time, determine’ makes it mandatory that just in the same way Central Civil Pension gets updated with the
implementation of each Pay Commission, pension in Public Sector Banks also shall be updated sin tune with the
revised pay scales arising out of each Bipartite Settlement. The regulation has pervasive application on all other
regulations when any doubt arises in the matter of their applicability.
10. This Hon’ble Court has held on 01.07.2015 in Civil Appeal No.1123 of 2015 viz. State Of Rajasthan & Another
Vs. Mahendranath Sharma & Others that Pension shall not be less than 50 percent of the running pay bands
corresponding to the pre-revised scales of pay rendering the act of the respondents in not updating pension in
Public Sector Banks in gross disregard to the law laid by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Any overt or covert
resistance from the government or banks controlled by it to updating of pension is callous disregard to the ruling of
the Apex Court in Civil Appeal No.1123 of 2015 besides being antithetical to several other rulings. 11. A copy of
this statement with Exhibits mentioned in it is also mailed to Shri. Rajesh Kumar Gautam, Advocate, Chamber No
127, Old Court Compound, Inter State Bus Terminal, Kashmir Gate, New Delhi – 110 006, the counsel of
respondents, Indian Banks’Association.
12. All the averments made hereinabove are true to the best of my information and belief.
13. Dated at N Paravur, Kerala this the 06th day of May, 2022
14. Signed and mailed by the within named deponent
