Shillong, Nov 21: The Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC)is considering payment of pensions to its former members.
This was informed before the Meghalaya High Court today during a hearing of a petition filed by 22 former MDCs.
The order passed by the Court said VGK Kynta, Sr counsel assisted by H Wanshong, counsel for the respondents, has again today made similar submissions with regard to the prayers of the writ petitioners, and submits that the matter is still under consideration and the placement of funds would be done as soon as funds are received.
BF Kharwanlang, counsel on behalf of the petitioners has raised strong objections and prays that positive directions be passed that within a stipulated time frame the respondents comply and afford the pension to the Ex -MDCs.
The court said the submissions of the counsels are noted. “It is a fact that repeated opportunities have been granted to the respondents to come up with positive indications with regard to the settlement of pensions of the Ex-MDCs. However, in the interest of justice, list this matter on 13 -12 -2023 for further orders,” it said.
