Review Petition No. 502/2014 (by P-2)
1. This review petition has been filed by petitioner no. 2, i.e., Ms Ila
Trivedi. It is stated that the said petitioner did not exercise any option. In
other words, she neither exercised a positive option to remain in CPF, nor
did she exercise an option to switch-over to the Pension Scheme. It is thus
stated that the review petitioner would fall in category – III and, therefore,
would be covered by the judgement delivered by this court on 30.04.2014,
passed in WP(C) No. 1490/2006 – 1507/2006, titled: R.N. Virmani vs
