TO JUDGE ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 21135 OF 2008 (N) ==================== Dated this the 4th day of February, 2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner was an employee under the Central Warehousing Corporation, Willington Island, Kochi. At that time, he was enrolled with the additional 3rd respondent. Subsequently, on the shifting of the warehouse from Kochi to Aluva, petitioner also got his registration shifted to the 2nd respondent. It is stated that he has since retired and the benefits have not been released so far. Therefore, the writ petition is filed praying for a direction to the 2nd respondent to ensure that the petitioner gets the monetary benefits. 2. Standing Counsel for the respondents on instructions pointed out that the contribution remitted with the additional 3rd respondent has not been transferred to the 2nd respondent and it was therefore that the delay occurred in settling the claims of the petitioner. 3. Now that the additional 3rd respondent has also been impleaded, in view of the submissions made as above, I direct the additional 3rd respondent to transfer the contribution, if any, that stands to the credit of the petitioner to the 2nd respondent, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this WPC 21135/08 :2 : judgment. It is directed that once contribution is received by the 2nd respondent, the 2nd respondent shall settle the claims of the petitioner within 4 weeks thereafter. 4. Petitioner may produce a copy of this judgment before respondents 2 and 3 for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
