THIS REVIEW PETITION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 11/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Review Petition No. 438 of 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of July, 2008 O R D E R Disputes arose regarding the disbursement of V.R.S. benefit and gratuity to different employees of the review petitioner. The content and concept of V.R.S. and gratuity for superannuated employees are essentially, indisputably, different. The writ petitioners, who are the private respondents in this review petition, are allegedly casual employees. Under such circumstances, the learned counsel for the review petitioner has rightly pointed out that the writ petition from which this review petition arises ought not to have been ordered by treating it along with other writ petitions disposed of as per the common judgment. Hence, preserving all the contentions of the review petitioner and the writ petitioners, this review petition is allowed and the judgment sought to be reviewed, in so far as it relates to W.P.(C) No.29350 of 2005, is vacated and it is directed that the said writ petition shall be listed immediately for final hearing. If any of the parties desires to place further pleading on record in the writ petition, that shall be done within an outer limit of ten days from now. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.
