They are not being paid retirement benefits except monthly pension. The petitioners contend that although for DCRG and Commuted value of pension they have to stand in the queue as directed by the Division Bench of this Court, that decision cannot affected the right of the petitioners to receive Provident Fund and Staff Welfare Fund which are amounts deducted from the salary of the petitioners and which belong absolutely to the petitioners. They therefore seek direction to the respondents to disburse the Provident Fund and Staff Welfare Fund amounts due to the petitioners. The learned standing counsel for the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation, submits that those amounts would be paid to the petitioners within two months. This is recorded and the writ petition is closed. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE dvs
