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

Veterans Team for 03 Apr 2009

Dear Veterans,
The Serving vs Veterans Golf Championship could not be scheduled till now. NHQ have yesterday, after CNS return from visit abroad intimated that the match will be held on Friday, 3 Apr at Hindan. The T-off time will be 0700 hrs and all players participating in the Competition are requested to wear the T -shirt being provided and be present at the Golf course by 0640 hrs.
NHQ have also changed the format and desired that only 32 players a side will participate. Spouses of the paticipants and other , Veterans and their families are welcome to join in for the post Golf celebrations.

In view of the limitation of the numbers to participate and it became very difficult to decide on selection of the 32 players. After a careful consideration it was decided to field the best team and win this competition for a change. Because of the limitation on numbers it became extremely difficult to decide on the Team from amongst serious and regular golfers and to give an opportunity to a wide cross section of our members. We are sure some good players may have been inadvertently omitted and our apologies for the same. The selected team and the names intimated to NHQ is given below and if any one from the team cannot make it please kindly call and inform as early as possible.

Regards

Vice Admiral Harinder Singh (Retd)
