[OROP Scheme]

#SupremeCourt hears matter concerning disbursement of arrears to eligible pensioners of the armed forces as per "One Rank One Pension" Scheme.

CJI DY Chandrachud: Mr AG, the Defence Ministry cannot take the law in its own hand! The notification Defence Secretary issues is directly against our orders. After he withdraws the communication of 20th, then we can hear your application.

Sr Adv Huzefa Ahmadi: You seem to have enough money for other things but you don't have money for pensioners? It's very unfair. 4 lakh pensioners have died during pendency of OROP petitions.

CJI DY Chandrachud: Give us a comprehensive note showing what exactly has been done and what will you do now.

AG: I would personally do it.

CJI DY Chandrachud: Our concern is that army people have to be paid. 4 lakh have died, it's very sad.

CJI DY Chandrachud: You can take widows first - you can have some categorisation. Older people would need it first, so there has to be some prioritisation.
