SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.14706 OF 2009 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 30th day of May, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner retired from service on 31.5.2008, while working as a Deputy Secretary in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation. The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that the retirement benefits due to the petitioner are not being disbursed by the Kollam Corporation. On 5.6.2009, while admitting this writ petition, this Court passed the following interim order: “Admit. Issue notice to the first respondent by speed post returnable in ten days. Sri. P.K. Manojkumar the learned standing counsel takes notice for the second respondent and Sri.M.K. Chandra Mohandas the learned standing counsel takes notice for the third respondent. The respondents to file counter affidavit if any within one month. Post after one month. In the meanwhile, the Kollam Corporation shall disburse to the petitioner arrears of pension from 1/6/2008 onwards. The first respondent shall also state whether the petitioner has been sanctioned the DCRG and if the DCRG has not been sanctioned yet, the reason why it has not been sanctioned so far. xxx xxx xxxx xxxx” 2. Neither the Government Pleader nor the Standing Counsel for the Kollam Corporation disputes the eligibility of the W.P.(C)No.14706/09 2 petitioner for the retirement benefits. The learned Standing Counsel for the Corporation submits that as per information received from the Corporation, all amounts due to the petitioner have been disbursed. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has no information in respect of the same. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to see that all retirement benefits due to the petitioner are disbursed to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, if not already paid.
