The specific contention of the petitioner is that in terms of the directions issued by this court in Writ Appeal No. 289/2001 that governs priority in the matter of disbursement of retiral benefits to the retirees from the Corporation his turn has reached long before. However, for reasons best known to the respondents, the retiral benefits payable to the petitioner have not, so far been disbursed. It is in the said circumstances that this writ petition has been filed. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned standing counsel for the respondent. Taking note of the submission made on behalf of the petitioner that 8802/2011WPC. : 2 : turn of the petitioner for receiving the retiral benefits became due much earlier, in the light of the directions in W.A. No.289/2001, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to take expeditious steps to disburse the retiral benefits including DCRG, Commuted value of Pension to the petitioner expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment in case it is due for payment in terms of the directions in W.A No.289/2001. The further prayer of the petitioner is disbursement of the terminal leave surrender salary. The learned counsel for the respondent submitted that the amount payable towards the leave surrender salary to the petitioner would also be ascertained and disbursed to the petitioner, expeditiously. It is therefore, directed that the amount payable to the petitioner on that account shall also be ascertained and disbursed within the above mentioned stipulated time. Sd/- (C.T.
