The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the One Rank One Pension (OROP) policy applicable to retired soldiers. The top court said that there is no constitutional deficiency in this. The Supreme Court also said that there is a provision for review of pension in 5 years in the policy, which is correct. Under this provision, the government should review the pension from the date of July 1, 2019. The court asked the government to pay the arrears to the retired soldiers in three months. Let us inform you that the petitioner Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement (IESM) had challenged the government's decision of the One Rank One Pension policy of 2015. In this, he had argued that the decision was arbitrary and malicious as it creates class within a class and effectively gives different pensions to one rank.
Know which decision of the government was being opposed
The Central Government had issued a notification of the One Rank One Pension Scheme (OROP) on 7 November 2015, in which it was said that the review of this scheme would be done in five years, but the Ex-Servicemen Association had demanded that it should be reviewed after one year. Ho. There was a difference of opinion between the two sides regarding this matter.

Earlier the hearing was held on 16 February.
Earlier in the hearing on February 16, the court had raised questions on the central government.

On this, the Center had defended itself and said that this is a decision taken by the cabinet. The Supreme Court had told the Center that as of now there is no statutory definition of OROP.
