The grievance of the petitioner is that although his priority has already reached on the basis of the date of retirement, the petitioner's retirement benefits have not yet been paid. The petitioner, therefore, seeks immediate disbursal of the retirement benefits due to the petitioner. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Corporation admits that persons retired upto 31.5.2005 have already been paid the retirement benefits. If that be so, the turn of the petitioner has already reached. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to see that all retirement benefits due to the petitioner are released to the petitioner within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge 2
