K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J. -------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.12497 of 2011 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of April, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioners are retired employees of the respondent Corporation. They complain that pay revision arrears due to them on the basis of bilateral agreement dated 13.4.1999 have not been paid, though several representations have been submitted demanding such payment. Advocate Sri.V.V.Nandagopal, appearing for the respondent- Corporation submits that the case of the petitioners is covered by the judgment of this Court evidenced herein by Ext.P13. The said writ petition has been disposed of directing the respondent to sanction and disburse arrears of pay due to the petitioners in the said writ petition based on the bilateral agreement dated 13.4.1999 executed between the respondent-Corporation and its employees in terms of the judgment in W.P.(C) No.34325 of 2010 and connected matters. In view of the submission of the learned counsel for the respondent that the petitioners in the present case are also entitled to the benefit of Ext.P13 judgment, I do not W.P.(C).No.12497 of 2011 2 find any reason to deny the same relief to them. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to sanction and disburse the arrears of pay due to the petitioners in this writ petition on the basis of bilateral settlement of 13.4.1999 executed between the respondent-Corporation and its employees in terms of the judgment in W.P.(C) No.34325 of 2010 and connected cases.

In case of failure to pay the amount within the time stipulated, the same shall carry interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum. This writ petition is disposed of as above. K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE. mns
