UPDATE ON OROP PETITION
Today 24 Mar 2020 OROP case was to be listed for final arguments in HSC.
Unfortunately because of CORONA precautions and clamp down of DELHI, HSC has been working taking up only very important cases. OROP case has not been taken up today as Justice Dr Chandrachud court did not sit. HSC is likely to work in this situation as long as DELHI is closed. Clampdown in Delhi could be extended for a long time. However we will know the real situation in evening when Honourable PM will address the nation.
I will keep members informed of any update on the date of hearing.

Please refer to the attached reply document against my RTI application bearing registration no. CGDFA/R/2019/80477.
I am not satisfied with the response offered by CPPO for fallowing reason.
The Honourable CGDA is the chair person of the committee to work out modalities and methodology of revision of OROP. I feel that it is incredible that the office of CGDA does not have any information on the status of progress of the revision process. I feel that the CPPO deliberately DENIED the information sought by this appellant.
I sought fallowing simple information
1. Whether or not any decision has been arrived by OROP-2 revision committee on the modalities and methodology on revision of OROP with effect from 01.07.2019 with corresponding tables.
2. Whether or not any report / interim report has been submitted by OROP-2 committee to MoD.
Sir, I did not seek information on the content or copy of any report or table (if any). I would have been satisfied only by an affirmative or negative ( YES/NO ) answer.
I again request you to provide the information sought by me.
