(a) whether it is a fact that the retirees from Government service for the period July 1, 1993 to March 31, 1995 were discriminated in grant of Death-cum-Retirement Gratuity in whose case the merger of Dearness Allowance was merely 20 per cent as against 97 per cent granted to those who retired after April 1, 1995;
(b) if so, whether it is also a fact that CAT, Mumbai and the Mumbai High Court, have held that the orders ignoring retirees for the aforesaid period for grant of such relief were discriminatory;
(c) if so, why the orders for grant of 97 per cent DA for merger for the purpose of Gratuity for pensioners during the aforesaid period have not been issued so far by the Government in view of the above-mentioned judgements; and
(d) the time by which these orders are likely to be issued?
