The K.S.R.T.C will determine the monthly pension other pensionary benefits , D.C.R.G due to the petitioners reckoning their provisional service along with their regular service. The respondent is W.P(C) No.10526 of 2007 -2- directed to issue orders granting the consequential benefits to the petitioners , on the basis of the declaration and direction as above, at the earliest and at any rate within two months of receiving a copy of this judgment.
