days, for clarity sake it is taken to be 21 years. He has alleged that he
did not get his family pension on his retirement to which he was entitled
under the Employee Pension scheme 1995. Then he filed a complaint before
the District Forum, Haridwar impleading Executive Director, BHEL and the
revisionist, Regional Provident Fund Commissioner. The complaint was
filed on 1998. Both the opposite parties of the complaint contested the
petition and it was decided on 26.6.01 on merits. In this order, the
District Forum directed the opposite parties to pay the family pension to
the complainant. No appeal or, revision was filed against this final
order on merits and the order became conclusive. When order was not
complied ,With, the complainant filed the execution application. That was
contested with the objection that the family pension has been paid. In
the grounds of revision as well, the revisionist has alleged that pension
has been calculated to the petitioner at the rate of Rs. 5311 - per month
under the Employee Pension Scheme 1995 and hence the order stands totally
complied. According to complainant, this is not correct calculation. He
