MR.C.UNNIKRISHNAN, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.21765 of 2010 (U) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 21st day of July, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner retired from the service of the Water Authority on 30/11/1997 while working as Superintending Engineer. He was placed under suspension by Ext.P1 order dated 22/01/1997. Subsequent to that the petitioner's pension and DCRG were admitted to him. But, in view of the pendency of Vigilance proceedings, provisional pension alone was paid. In this writ petition, his complaint is that subsequently on account of the pay revision in 1997 & 2007 although pay has been revised, corresponding revision in the provisional pension has not been given to him. Yet another grievance is that DCRG has not been disbursed to him so far. 2. Insofar as the revision in the provisional pension is concerned, learned Standing Counsel for the Water Authority informs that steps have already been taken to give him the benefit and that the process will be completed and the benefits will be WP(C) No.21765/2010 -2- disbursed to him at any rate within two months from today. This submission is recorded. Insofar as the DCRG is concerned, admittedly, the petitioner retired from service way back in 1997. Therefore, the period prescribed in Note 3, Rule 3, Part-III-KSR for quantifying liability has expired. In view of the above, the same shall also be disbursed to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
