The petitioner is a pensioner. He retired from service on 31-5- 2007 while he was working as Anti Mosquito Mazdoor in the Cochin Corporation. The scales of pay of Government employees and Aided School Teachers was revised with effect from 1-7-2004 as per G.O. (MS) No. 145/2006/Fin dated 25-3-2006. It was implemented in the local authorities with effect from 1-7-2004 as per G.O.(MS) No.153/2007/Fin. Dated 7-6- 2007. Thereby, the petitioner became entitled to receive the enhanced salary and allowances and also enhanced terminal benefits. The grievance voiced by the petitioner in this writ petition is that even after the pay revision orders took effect, arrears of salary and allowances have not been paid and the terminal benefits have not been fixed or disbursed. The learned standing W.P.(C) No. 13380/09 2 counsel appearing for the respondent submits that the Secretary, Cochin Corporation will take expeditious steps in the matter. In these circumstances, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Secretary, Cochin Corporation to take steps to issue orders sanctioning payment of arrears of salary and allowances to the petitioner for the period from 1-7-2004 to 31-5-2007 and also the terminal benefits determined with reference to the revised pay and allowances. Final orders in the matter shall be passed and monetary benefits disbursed within three months from today. It will be open to the petitioner to file a representation before the Secretary, Cochin Corporation pointing out his claims under various heads. The Secretary, Cochin Corporation shall while passing orders in the matter take note of the claims made by the petitioner in the said representation. P.N.RAVINDRAN, JUDGE. mn.
