P. Datta has summarized his request in this appeal<br \/>\nas follows:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>       &#8220;In a nutshell, the information asked for is simple-<br \/>\n       Whether for purposes of fixation of my 1\/3rd pension as on<br \/>\n       1.1.2006, Rs. 994\/- which was declared incorrect by the Andhra<br \/>\n       Pradesh High Court and also by the Supreme Court) would be<br \/>\n       taken as my 1\/3rd pension as on 31.12.2005 or the figure of Rs.<br \/>\n       2,271 fixed as per Supreme Court&#8217;s order circulated vide letter<br \/>\n       dated 6.9.2007. If Rs. 994\/-, why?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>       Subsequently Shri Datta has followed up with a letter of 26.4.2010<br \/>\nsubmitting as follows:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>        &#8220;My revised P.P.O. consequent to VIth Pay Commission Report<br \/>\n       has not yet been issued by my office, i.e. Ministry of Railways.<br \/>\n       In case the revised P.P.O. is issued, showing Rs. 994\/- as 1\/3rd<br \/>\n       admissible pension as on 31.12.2005, it would involve a<br \/>\n       recovery of approximately Rs. 70,000\/- from the pension already<br \/>\n       drawn by me from 1.1.2006 to date, because amount of my 1\/3rd<br \/>\n       pension as fixed on 1.1.2006 will get reduced as compared to<br \/>\n       what I have been drawing as on 31.12.2005 as shown in<br \/>\n       Annexure &#8216;A&#8217;. This defeats the very purpose of VI Pay<br \/>\n       Commission&#8217;s Report.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>       The appeal was heard on 13-7-2010.
