It is the time not to keep quite just after voting and become mute Respected Members Sirs, As discussed earlier in the circle we are publishing a draft of Objectives of National Legal Forum, which we all believe to be published on regular basis in the circles as below, please revert if you have any alteration, please. FORUM FOR CONSTITUTIONAL REMEDIES WE , THE DEDICATED ASSOCIATION OF PERSONS having solemnly resolved to constitute into a FORUM FOR CONSTITUTIONAL REMEDIES to secure an un-deviated Public Welfare Oriented Policy of rule in our Nation with the Objectives aspired by the freedom strugglers of the Country as was also envisaged while concluding the Constitution of India through a significant part IV. So the concept of “NATIONAL LEGAL FORUM under NGO Provisions” for better civilization at Public Interest”. PREAMBLE OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA: JUSTICE, social, economic and political: LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship: EQUALITY of status and of opportunity: Over and above, _ FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the [unity and integrity of the Nation]: And to promote among them all. PREAMBLE: ¬ The Constitution adopted in November 1949 by the Legislative Assembly had the Article 32, which was provided for Constitutional Remedies to its Citizen with article 226 that is applicable in State High Courts. After many protests, representations and rigor, the Constitution was added with an Article 31 C in 1971 as amended in 1976 and the Article 39 A was also added for providing Equal opportunity of law for which it was emphasised the need of providing Free Legal Aid to ensure that opportunities for securing justice are not denied on account of economic or other disabilities. The Preamble of the Constitution was added with the Note: In 1992, Life guarantee under Constitution.... The Preamble of the Constitution promises and the directive principles are mandate to the Stats to eradicate poverty so that the poor of this country can enjoy the right to life guaranteed under the Constitution. Determination of the Judges. – Strength in superior courts held, justifiable. ¬ Once in 1982 & later in 1992, The Supreme Court had confined that “We would therefore held that any member of the public having sufficient interest can maintain an action for judicial redress for public injury arising from breach of public duty or from violation of some provisions of the Constitution or the law and seek enforcement of such public duty and observance of such constitutional or legal provision. This is absolutely necessary for maintaining the rule of law, furthering the cause of justice and accelerating the pace of realisation of the Constitutional Objectives“. Thus, the Supreme Court upheld the RIGHT OF THE PRACTICING LAWYERS to maintain a writ petition under Art. 32 on matters affecting the independence of Judiciary. ¬ The Supreme Court also cited, == where a legal wrong or legal injury is caused to person or to a determinate class of persons by reason of violation of any constitutional or legal rights and such person or determinate class of persons is by reason of poverty, helplessness of disability or socially or economically disadvantaged position unable to approach the court for relief, any member of the public can maintain an application for an appropriate direction or order or writ in the High Court under Article 226 or in the case of breach of any Fundamental Right to the Court under Article 32 . == ¬ Even though the preamble as was the original contain the whole, to be in specific on certain prominent objectives of Freedom fighters caused for the inclusion for Secured Directives of Rule for the generations. WHILE these the basics of the constitution , there had been many Supreme Court Judgements in many matters relevant to the Directive Principles those were set to achieve the comprehensive object of article 21 in the first , second and third decades of Independent Rule in India . ¬ Even then, the Selfish Personalities staged that “The court has no capacity to enforce its orders and in many cases the conditions have not changed. “ And the Honourable Court had to highlight the issues of _ · A Telegram forwarded under article 39 about the murder of his son in police lock-up filed by his father which was directed by the State high Court confining the importance of article 39 A . · The Court also taken-up such in form of a letter on white paper confining to article 32 and 39 in cases of hazardous livelihood and health loss due to Pollution from Industries etc., In the spirit and inspiration of Dr. Ambedkar “If it was asked to name any particular Article in this Constitution as the most important – an Article without which this Constitution would be a nullity – we could not refer to any other Article except this one.......... It is the very soul of the Constitution and the very heart of it.” In the spirit of Fraternity inspired by Dr. Ambedkar “Castes are anti-national in the first place they bring about separation in social life. They are anti-national also because they generate jealousy and antipathy between caste and caste. But we must overcome all these difficulties if we wish to become a nation in reality.” OBJECTIVES: It is true that “ Morality , Decency & Basic Education “ are the requisites in Citizen without which there cannot be a better Electorate and Justified rule while considering the above some of the unpleasant issues and the present status of our Statistics as at 2011 , we , the association of persons concluded to form this forum to work with keen interest for the better carry and substantial application of the provisions of the constitution through the provision of Rights to Constitutional Remedies with the following Objectives mainly. Supreme Court also had to give effect in the issues of Education, and suggested, directed the governments on application of Uniform Civil Code and even the implementation of Economic Creamy Layer of Castes to eradicate the Reservations and Relaxations to those Socially & Economically in reasonable status to full fill the real objective of applying to those only poor and poorest of the Poor in a justified carry of the concept of the Constitution. The present situation and the above legally and morally justified facts indeed necessitate the constitution of “NATIONAL LEGAL FORUM Under NGO Provisions at PUBLIC INTEREST” by the Morally , Socially and Legally active personalities to carry the objective of our Indian freedom-fighters, sustain the purpose of independent Rule in our Country for Secured Safety to our generations which in-fact is under the compulsory requirement within the purview of article 21 , 32 , 226 and the very public oriented article 39 A with the foregoing Articles of Association please . 1.

Government has to clear on the NPS settlement method and also clear the doubt that how much will the old pension scheme employees will be benefited due to 6th pay commission. I feel like the seniors have cheated youths who are under NPS scheme just because they had their power in the past of changing in to NPS scheme but get good pension and settlement amount for them these seniors framed 6th pay commission which made them to get more benefit leaving the upcoming government employees in critical situation. more  
If their is increase in tax exception then the income for the government will reduce. I really don't understand when the people wants increase in salary particularly government employees, why they want tax exception, their needs should be satisfied but the people who gets less than or equal to 10000 has to suffer from service tax, increase in train tickets, etc., Though I try for government jobs I am deadly against the 6th pay commission may be because I might be brought under NPS. When the seniors did not consider my welfare why they alone needed to favored so much that they would get the best settlement amount and pension?? Even people who invested in the children growth fund share, only the initial few were given double the amount, later people were not even given the paid amount, same thing will happen in case of the NPS government employees if proper procedure is not followed, at the same time these senior who tell us that it is our turn to work as if they have done so much work will get lakh and lakhs as settlement. 6th pay commission is a cheat to make the future government works to suffer and the existing government employees of old pension scheme to be benefited in a such a manner that few other are not able to get pension, increase in service taxes, etc No government employees under NPS scheme are given annual report or the arrears. These amount are converted as shares in UTI, ICICI, SBI, etc., which is not the government sector, are they not getting benefited by the invested amount, what they do the profit give huge salary to their employees under old pension scheme and also give them good settlement amount and leave the real sufferers with out giving pension. more  
This list is only asking for greater exemptions but not giving any idea how to make up the revenue loss. I am a senior citizen and the exemption limit sought is 7.5 lacs which is unjustified. We have to be more reasonable than the present generation for the sake of India to which we owe everything. more
