RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: N I L /TRUE COPY/ P.A.TO JUDGE Kss HARUN-UL-RASHID, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 21108 of 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of August 2011. JUDGMENT Petitioners are retired employees of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (for short 'Corporation'). The petitioners prayed for a direction to the Corporation to disburse the terminal leave surrender salary amount without delay. The counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioners are legally entitled to get their terminal leave surrender salary immediately on retirement, but the respondent failed to arrange payment of the terminal leave surrender salary within a reasonable time from the date of retirement. 2.When the matter was taken up for final hearing today, learned standing counsel for the Corporation submits that the terminal leave surrender salary to which the petitioners are legally entitled will be disbursed within a period of one month. The submission is recorded. Some other employees of the Corporation moved this court for the very same relief in W.P. (C ) No. 14585/2011 W.P.(C) No. 21108/2011 2 and other cases. The relief sought for in that case is allowed by this court and a direction was issued to the Corporation to calculate and disburse the terminal leave surrender salary expeditiously at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Following the aforesaid decision of this court, direction is issued to the respondent Corporation to disburse the terminal leave surrender salary due to the petitioners expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. HARUN-UL-RASHID JUDGE al
