Basheer, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P(C) No. 32725 of 2006 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 8th day of March, 2007. J U D G M E N T Petitioners had sought voluntary retirement from service while they were working under respondents 4 and 5. Their grievance is that the dues payable to them under the Family Retirement Scheme are not being disbursed to them, though more than 15 months have elapsed. It appears that the retiral benefits could not be disbursed since the requisite fund was not made available by the Government to respondents 4 and 5. 2. Learned Government Pleader on getting written instructions from the Joint Secretary in the Industries (C) Department under the Government of Kerala submits that an amount of Rs.89.19 lakhs has been recommended for release from the Head of Account 2852-80-800- 71(P) during the current financial year. He further submits that the amount will be released and disbursed to the petitioners very soon. 3. Learned Standing Counsel for respondents 4 and 5 also submits that she has been informed that orders have been passed on 15/2/2007 sanctioning the amount. The above submissions are recorded. The Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction that the respondents shall ensure that the amounts are disbursed to the petitioners as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
