J U D G M E N T The petitioners are retired employees of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. According to them, they are entitled to regularisation in service in the post from which they had retired, with retrospective effect from an anterior date. They also complain that the 1st petitioner has not been paid his Provident Fund amount and Staff Welfare Fund amount and the 2nd petitioner has not been paid his Staff Welfare Fund amount. The petitioner now seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 series of representation filed by the petitioner, in the light of Ext.P3 order, in respect of their claim for regularisation of service with effect from the anterior date. They also seek a direction to the respondents to disburse the Provident Fund and Staff Welfare Fund amounts due to petitioners 1 and 2. 2. I have heard the learned Standing Counsel for the corporation also. 3. After hearing both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with the following direction: W.P(C)No.27449 of 2008 - 2 - The Provident Fund and Staff Welfare Fund amounts due to the 1st petitioner and the Staff Welfare Fund amount due to the 2nd petitioner shall be disbursed within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The 1st respondent shall consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 series of representations filed by the petitioners, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioners would be free to rely on Ext.P3 order or any other material in support of their claim which shall also be considered by the 1st respondent, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners.
