The Supreme Court has sought the Centre's response within 8 weeks on a plea of an ex-servicemen's body seeking implementation of One Rank One Pension (OROP) as recommended by the Koshyari Committee.
The Indian Ex-servicemen Movement (IESM) and others have challenged the government's policy of periodic review of pension once in five years. They say such an approach was dilution of the February 26, 2014 announcement by which the revision in pension was to automatically



pass on to the past pensioners on an annual basis.
They have contended that five-yearly periodic review did not meet the demand of the ex-servicemen seeking OROP for the service personnel who had retired with same length of service in the same rank.
IESM in its petition has referred to the 2011 report of Rajya Sabha's Petition Committee then headed by Bhagat Singh Koshyari which rejected all reservation advanced by the government while strongly recommending OROP.
