THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 1732 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 16th January, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a retired employee of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. Disciplinary proceedings were initiated against him, which is still being continued even after his retirement. Petitioner's grievance is that in spite of the disciplinary proceedings , he is entitled to receive provident fund, staff welfare fund amounts and provisional pension, which have not been paid to the petitioner yet. The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent to pay to the petitioner provident fund, staff welfare fund amounts and provisional pension due to the petitioner expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned standing counsel for the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation also. 3. As far as provident fund and staff welfare fund amounts are concerned, they are totally unconnected with the disciplinary proceedings and this Court has been consistently directing payment of those amounts to retired employees of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. As far as provisional pension is concerned, the Rules provide for payment of provisional pension in cases where disciplinary proceedings are still pending. In the above circumstances, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondent to pay to the petitioner provident fund and staff welfare fund amounts as also the provisional pension, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
