TO JUDGE. svs K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J --------------------------------------------- W.P.(c)No.30781 of 2011 --------------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of November 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a person who had retired as a Field Worker from the Alappuzha Municipality on 30.6.2005. According to him, he has not been paid the amounts towards terminal surrender and arrears of dearness allowance. The petitioner complains that though he is eligible to receive the said amounts from the respondent, the said amounts are not being paid without any justification. The petitioner, therefore, seeks the issue of appropriate directions for payment of the said amounts. 2. Adv.M.K.Chandramohan Das, the standing counsel for the respondent Municipality submits that the entire amount would be paid within an outer limit of four months. This is recorded. 3. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the respondent to pay to the petitioner the WPC No.30781 of 2011 2 arrears of dearness allowance and terminal surrender, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of four months from today.
