J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a retired employee of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. His grievance is that his provident fund and staff welfare fund amounts have not been paid to him. According to him, although, for DCRG and commuted value of pension, he has to stand in the queue in accordance with the date of priority of his retirement, he is entitled to payment of provident fund and staff welfare fund amounts immediately on retirement. 2. I have heard the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the KSRTC also, who seeks one month's time to pay the amounts. Taking into the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to see that the provident fund and staff welfare fund amounts due to the petitioner is paid within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
