An endorsement is also made to that effect by the learned counsel. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. It is seen that in I.A.No.2450/2003 this court had passed an interim order staying the approval of appointment of the 5th respondent as peon. It is made clear that in case the appointment of the 5th respondent is not approved solely due to the withdrawal of the writ petition and the dismissal of the I.A.No.2450/2003, the 3rd respondent is directed to settle and disburse the eligible benefits to the 5th respondent within a month from today. The writ petition is settled as above. (KURIAN JOSEPH , JUDGE) (K.T.SANKARAN, JUDGE) ps 2 KURIAN JOSEPH & K.T.SANKARAN, JJ W.P.(C) No.17158/2003 A W A R D 8th March, 2007
