The Centre’s sealed cover note about the payment of OROP dues is rejected by SC

The Centre’s sealed cover note outlining its position on paying One Rank One Pension (OROP) arrears to former service members was rejected by the Supreme Court. It has to do with following instructions. What might be concealed here?” The CJI enquired. In front of the bench, the Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement (IESM) is contending that OROP dues must be paid. On March 13, the highest court harshly criticised the government for “unilaterally” agreeing to pay OROP dues in four payments. The defence ministry recently sent paperwork indicating the schedule for paying ex-servicemen the Rs 28,000 crore in back pay they are owed for the years 2019 to 22.
