TO JUDGE tss KURIAN JOSEPH, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.24748 OF 2003 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of August, 2008. J U D G M E N T Petitioners approached this Court praying for a direction to disburse the monthly pension. There is also a prayer for disbursement of the provident fund deducted from the 6th pay revision benefits. There is also a grievance to the effect that the petitioners have not been issued Pension Payment Order. Yet another grievance is that since the disbursement of pension is through two Banks, unnecessarily the petitioners are made to suffer Bank commission from two Banks. Therefore, it is prayed that the payment may be made through one Bank. 2. Petitioners may file an appropriate representation pointing out all these grievances before respondents 2 and 3 within a period of one month from today, in which case, respondents 2 and 3 will take appropriate action, redressing the grievance of the petitioners, on all the grievances referred to W.P.(C) No.24748/03 2 above within another two months. The respondents 2 and 3 will also file a report to this Court regarding the action thus taken in the matter. This writ petition is disposed of as above.
