THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/07/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K. M. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 21131 OF 2007 N -------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th July, 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioner retired on 29.2.2004 as is evident from Ext.P1. Petitioner claims payment of benefits due on retirement. Heard the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent Corporation also. Counsel for respondent Corporation points out that the petitioner has taken loans. Of course, it is submitted that there is seniority being maintained pursuant to the Division Bench Judgment. But, petitioner points out Ext.P2 and also made reference to the complaint filed before the Lok Ayukta as Complaint No.3084/06. I think, petitioner has made out a case for deviation from seniority. The Writ Petition is disposed of as follows: There will be a direction to the first respondent to disburse to the petitioner the entire amount due as Provident Fund with statutory interest from the due date till the date of payment, and also Staff Welfare Fund amount, within a period of ten weeks WP(C) NO.21131/07 N 2 from the date of production of a copy of this Judgment. There will be a further direction to the first respondent to disburse to the petitioner the entire amount due to him as DCRG or Commuted Value of Pension whichever is higher, less any amount liable to be deducted towards the loans taken by the petitioner from the Corporation, within a period of six weeks from the date of production of a copy of this Judgment.
