NFU Case: The Matter was again listed today. However, our turn AGAIN didn't come. We made a Mention of the case at the end & although we were assured that it would again be listed in the next week on Wednesday, the chances are very low since Hon'ble Justice JK Maheshwari is retiring and the Govt/AG/ASG, all wanted that to happen. Let's wait for a day or two to know what is in store for us next. This is the FIFTH Bench in the last about 9 years which shall be retiring without hearing/concluding our case.

Update – Case not heard today (23 Apr 26). Likely next Wednesday.
Dear Col Mukul,
We continue to wait with hope and patience.
While this time is available, we most respectfully request all stakeholders to flood X with dignified appeals to the Hon’ble Supreme Court on the following points:
▪️The High Level Committee (of which a senior DMA representative was a Member) has recommended against granting NFU to Armed Forces personnel, citing financial implications and complexities.
▪️However, the CDS had given a positive recommendation in favour of NFU.
▪️It appears that the higher echelon of the Armed Forces is either not fully aligned or is being used as a spokesperson for the Government’s stand.
We most earnestly pray to the Hon’ble Supreme Court to:
▪️Give sympathetic and humanitarian consideration to the unparalleled selfless service, sacrifices, and unlimited liability of the Indian Armed Forces.
▪️Examine the matter on principles of equity and parity — since NFU has already been granted to all other Central Civil Services and CAPFs.
▪️Not give overriding weightage to the High Level Committee recommendations once the matter is before the apex court.
Call to Action
We appeal to:
▪️All Super Senior Veterans (Lt Gen and above) — who regularly appear on national TV debating Ukraine, US-Israel-Iran, etc. — to kindly devote time and energy to flood X in support of NFU for their own brethren.
▪️Media and Citizens of this great Nation — who have seen us sacrifice our lives in hot wars and stand by you during every natural calamity and failure of civil machinery — to raise your voice for justice.
Either grant NFU to the Armed Forces or withdraw it from all other services.
No step-motherly treatment please.
We continue to repose full faith in the wisdom and justice of the Hon’ble Supreme Court.
Jai Hind!

NFU Case Meeting: A Meeting with the High Powered Committee was held today at South Blocks. The meeting was attended by me (the Lead Petitioner) along with Col Rajiv Manglik & Col AK Mor. The Meeting was chaired by the FADS and few other IAS Offrs of Jt Secy level were the Members. The Committee heard our submissions very patiently and in a very cordial atmosphere. They also clarified from us the various issues about the NFU. The issue of the methodology of implementation was also touched upon briefly at the end. Finally, the Committee requested us to give our Written Submissions in the next couple of days. Overall, it was a good meeting. I am grateful to Col AK Mor for having come all the way from Chandigarh to attend this meeting. For information of all concerned.....
Few days back, had a conversation with UPSC aspirant. He simply said without guilt that why do you think we are not supposed to do corruption when we clear exam for which we’re preparing for 5- 6 years. What govt provides is very less compared to the sacrifice we’ve done for this exam. Lost our prime era of youth. So somehow it compensates years of sacrifice.

Had an extremely distressing exp with your rider, Tej R Khurana, in tricity area Chd, who not only misbehaved with us over the phone, but walked up to our doorstep and created a ruckus. Using abusive, threatening language. What the hell kinda service is this?
