In Ext.P4 judgment, a learned Single Judge of this Court disposed of a batch of writ petitions raising identical claims and directing that the amounts due under Ext.P2 will be disbursed before the finalisation of a fresh agreement between the parties. That judgment has been confirmed in Ext.P5 judgment in WA No.1851/08 and connected matters. Since the claim of the petitioners have already been recognised and accepted by this Court in Exts. P4 and P5 judgments, this writ petition is also disposed of declaring that the petitioners will be entitled to the same benefits as are granted by this Court in Exts. P4 and P5 judgments. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
