SHRI.JOHNSON.P.JOHN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P(C).No. 32529 of 2008 ================== Dated this the 5th day of November, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioners are retired employees of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. Their grievance is that their provident fund and staff welfare fund amounts have not been paid to them. According to them, although, for DCRG and commuted value of pension, they have to stand in the queue in accordance with the date of priority of their retirement, they are entitled to payment of provident fund and staff welfare fund amounts immediately on retirement. 2. I have heard the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the KSRTC also, who seeks one month's time to pay the amounts. 3. Taking into the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to see that the provident fund and staff welfare fund amounts due to the petitioners are paid within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
