The learned counsel appearing for the respondents also endorsed the same. In the circumstances, these Writ Petitions are disposed of with a direction to the respondents to quantify the benefits of arrears of pension in terms of the bipartite settlement dated 28.11.2008 and W.P.(C) Nos.8669 & 8789/2011 2 also in terms of judgment in W.A.No.210/2010.
