  3. Sir,
    Is No. 3 Maj Gen Satbir Singh the same who is in the OROP thing?

    Heard he got Rs 6 lakh as arrears but he never said a word at JM.

  4. I am not sure because I do not have documents to confirm or deny you a truthful reply.

    Why not ask the Maj Gen or his co-petitioners?

  5. @Taaza Khabar, Hearing and in print are two different things. So please do not believe the numbers being floated around.
