Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.V.NARASIMHA GOUD Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 to 3: MR.V.T.M.PRASAD Counsel for the Respondent No.4:MS.KAVITA YADAV The Court at the admission stage made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the petitioner aggrieved by the inaction of the respondents in not paying the one month withheld salary, in not issuing identity card on par with other similarly retired employees and in not arranging the full pension to him. The grievance of the petitioner is that even though he retired from service after working in the first respondent-Corporation, the Corporation did not pay the one month withheld salary. Even though the same was withheld pending finalisation and after finalisation also the Corporation did not pay the one month withheld salary. Hence, the present claim. Similarly, the petitioner also claims that the Corporation did not issue identity card after his retirement on par with other similarly retired employees. Further, with reference to pension, the petitioner also claimed that full pension was not paid to him. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Corporation and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the fourth respondent. With reference to the payment of one month withheld salary, it is represented by the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Corporation that if the salary of the petitioner is not paid, the same may be directed to be paid. Accordingly, the Corporation is directed to pay the one month withheld salary to the petitioner, if not already paid, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Similarly, the first respondent-Corporation is also directed to issue identity card to the petitioner on par with other similarly retired employees, if the same is being followed, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Coming to the petitioner’s claim with regard to arrangement of full pension, a counter is filed by the fourth respondent stating that the pension is being paid after excluding the commuted pension. In view of the counter, the learned counsel for the petitioner has fairly conceded that when once commuted part of the pension has already been paid, the petitioner is entitled only for the balance pension. In view of the said submission, the petitioner is not entitled to any relief with reference to full pension. The writ petition is disposed of with the above observations and directions. No costs. __________________ 08.07.2005 VGB To 1. The Managing Director, APSRTC, Musheerabad, Hyderabad. 2. The Depot Manager, APSRTC, Bus Depot, Suryapet, Nalgonda District. 3.
