New Delhi, February 23

The Supreme Court on Wednesday reserved its verdict on a petition seeking implementation of One Rank One Pension (OROP) policy in the defence forces.

A Bench led by Justice DY Chandrachud reserved the judgment after hearing petitioner Indian Ex-servicemen Movement (IESM) and the Centre.

The Union Government maintained that both “same rank” and “same length of service” were necessary conditions for availing of OROP benefits.

Last week, the Bench had posed several probing questions to the Union Government over the One Rank One Pension policy and Modified Assured Career Progression scheme and sought to know how it has been implemented. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
