SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.9058 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of March, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioners retired from service of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. Their grievance is that although their retirement benefits are liable to be disbursed only in accordance with the priority of retirement, they are entitled to payment of their provident fund amounts and staff welfare fund amounts. The petitioners therefore seek a direction to the respondent to pay to the petitioners the said amounts expeditiously. The learned standing counsel appearing for the KSRTC submits that the amounts would be paid within two months. This is recorded and the writ petition is closed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
