JOHN, (CONDUCTOR, KSRTC, PALA DEPOT, RTD ON 31/05/2006) PATHAYIL, PUTHEN CHANDA.P.O, VAKATHANAM, KOTTAYAM. BY ADV. SRI.K.P.RAJEEVAN RESPONDENT(S): --------------- 1. KERALA STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORPORATION, REPRESENTED BY ITS MANAGING DIRECTOR, TRANSPORT BHAVAN, FORT, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. 2. DISTRICT TRANSPORT OFFICER, KSRTC, PALA DEPOT, PALA. SRI. JOHNSON P. JOHN. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 4807 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 23rd March, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioner retired from the service of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation on 31-5-2006. Earlier, pursuant to disciplinary proceedings, he had been removed from service. But, that order was quashed by the appellate authority and the appellate authority directed that he is entitled to pensionary benefits with effect from his date of retirement, i.e on 31-5-2006. Ext. P1 is the order of the appellate authority. The petitioner's grievance is that the petitioner is not being paid his retirement benefits. 2. As far as D.C.R.G and commutted value of pension are concerned, the petitioner has to wait for his turn in accordance with the date of priority of his retirement. But, he is entitled to the monthly pension. Of course, the learned counsel for the respondents would contend that since there are certain audit objections, the same have to be cleared before granting monthly pension. 3. I am of opinion that the petitioner having retired on 31-5- 2006, the respondents had ample time to take a decision on the same. As such, the petitioner's claim for monthly pension has to be considered and orders passed within one month. It is ordered so. In respect of terminal leave surrender salary and arrears of pay revision benefits, the petitioner may file an appropriate representation before the 1st respondent, who shall consider and pass orders on the same as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [True copy] P.S to Judge.
