J U D G M E N T The prayer is for implementation of Exts.P1 and P2 in the matter of non-payment of arrears of salary and retirement benefits. The only reason for non-disbursement of the benefits is the delay in getting Government sanction. There will be a direction to the first respondent to take appropriate action on the request for sanction for implementation of Exts.P1 and P2, if not already taken, within one month from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. Thereafter, the eligible benefits will be disbursed to the petitioner within another one month. In the event of delay, the petitioner will be entitled to interest at the rate of 18% from the date of Exts.P1 and P2 orders and the officers responsible for the delay will be personally liable for the same. The writ petition is disposed of as above. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. tgs KURIAN JOSEPH, J ---------------------------------------------- O.P.
