Ex-servicemen are presently drawing pension that is not consistent with their rank and\/or length of service. In fact, some ex-servicemen are even drawing lesser pension than other ex-servicemen who retired with a subordinate rank or (in the same rank) which is unjust and unconstitutional,&#8221; the petition said.<\/p>\n<p>It said that the Centre&#8217;s February 3, 2016 letter sent to the chiefs of Army, Navy and Air Force on OROP was &#8220;unjust, arbitrary and violative of Article 14 and 21 of the constitution.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The plea sought a direction to the Centre &#8220;that the pension of past pensioners be automatically and contemporaneously enhanced, whenever there is any future increase or enhancement in the rates of pension.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It further said the government should be directed to fix the pension on the basis of highest pension of financial year 2014-15 and not 2013.<\/p>\n<p>IESM in its petition has referred to the December 19, 2011, report of Rajya Sabha&#8217;s Petition Committee then headed by Bhagat Singh Koshyari which rejected all reservation advanced by the government while &#8220;strongly recommending&#8221; OROP.<\/p>\n<p>In its 142nd report, the Koshyari Committee had said, &#8220;the Committee strongly recommends that Government should implement OROP in the defence forces across the board at the earliest&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supreme Court today sought the government&#8217;s response on a plea of an ex-servicemen&#8217;s body seeking implementation of One Rank-One Pension (OROP) as recommended by the Koshyari Committee with an automatic annual revision, instead of the current policy of periodic review once in five years.
