GS SNPWA addresses to CGCA, MS Vandana Gupta, seeking her immediate intervention to thoroughly investigate gross misbehavior and misdemeanor of an official in Pr CCA office Kolkatta towards widow of our Veteran deceased Comrade Prasun Ghosh. If immediate serious action is not taken against the errant official for his unwarranted and unruly behaviour, Association will approach National Commission for Women. Needless to say, Association will be ruthless and unsparing in cases where officials misbehave with women, and that too a Widow family Pensioner.

Dear Comrades,
Draconian Validation Act, 25, promulgated by the Government in March 25, camouflaged in the Finance Bill, 25., has been challenged by the National Confederation of Central Government Pensioners Associations, of which SNPWA is a constituent, in Hon Supreme Court on the grounds that it is Violative of Article 14 of the Constitution, and hence infringes upon the Basic Structure Doctrine of the Constitution laid down by 13 member Constitutional Bench of the Hon Supreme Court in 1972, is listed for hearing on 25th August 2026.
Any legislative intervention to amend the Basic Structure Doctrine laid down by 13 member Constitutional Bench of Hon Supreme Court in Keshavananda Bharti vs State of Kerala is Violative of the Basic Structure Doctrine of the Constitution and is hence subject to Judicial Challenge. Validation Act, which discriminates Pensioners on the basis of their D.O R, is Violative of Article 14, and hence of the Basic Structure of the Constitution. On this ground Hon Supreme Court has admitted WP filed by NCCPA and its affiliates, including SNPWA.
A delegation of NCCPA, including GS/ SNPWA, are expected to meet Emininet Counsel and President Supreme Court Bar, Sh Vikas Singh, who is representing our WP in Supreme Court between July 1st to 9th, depending upon his availability, to get further briefed about the developments on the issue. Com Jayraj, SG/ NCCPA, spoke to Junior Counsel for fixing the said meeting. CHQ will share feedback after the meeting.
- GS / SNPWA.
