A Note from Gen Suri on the Maj Gen Case to President Navy Foundation Forwarded for Your Info Please

Hi,
Went to the SC yesterday along to hear the contempt case submitted by Nidesh Gupta for non complaince of the SC orders re our pensions.

Altamas Kabir was the senior judge of the bench , he was fully aware of the case & was furious with the COAS & Def Secy for not implementing the SC orders.

He let the Def lawyers have it as they gave no reasons for non execution. He first issued notice to the COAS & Def Secy to come personally to the court & explain as to why the the SC orders had not been executed & why a contempt case should not be lauched against them . On pleading by the Def lawyers he excused their personal appearance.

On our pressurizing he fixed the next hearing on 4th May.

This news was picked up by all TV channels & high lighted in their 1200hrs onwards.

Hope the Govt now takes some action .

Please inform all concernd.
Rgds
Satish Suri
Maj Gen S C Suri (Retd )
