Moreover, all India CPWD Engineers Association, National Federation of Atomic Energy Employees & CPWD Engineers Association have engaged advocates to file application for intervention in the case.

Leaders representing various Associations/Unions addressed the meeting and asked the Steering Committee to take the challenge very seriously and all possible efforts should be taken to resolve the issue positively and the case should properly be coordinated.

While discussing collection of funds to meet the expenses of the legal action, Convener of the Committee has said that Shri Mohanan Nair of CAT Ernakulam was not interested to go with the case because he was not in a position to bear the expenses of the senior advocate to be appointed to present his side. But following the formation of this SteeringCommittee at National level, some of the Central Government Employees under the leadership of Shri Harilal and Srikumar of MES come in support of Shri Mohanan Nair and has raised funds by collection from the affected Central Government Employees to meet his legal charges. But,  for  Babu Ram, Reeta Devi & Shri Dhirender Singh of Chandigarh have to be funded by this SteeringCommittee as these are low paid employees and they have no source of income to bear the legal expenses, the Convener said. The SteeringCommittee discussed the matter and unanimously decided to arrange financial support to Babu Ram, Reeta Devi & Shri Dhirender Singh to meet the legal expenses.

Thereafter, collection of contributionto meet the expenses of legal charges has been discussed and the representatives of the Associations present in the meeting voluntarily gave consents to give funds.
