JUDGMENT The petitioner retired as Senior Grade Typist from the 1st respondent Corporation. The retirement benefits were sanctioned to her under Exts.P1 and P2. Her grievance is that, except an amount of Rs.1 lakh by way of Death Cum Retirement Gratuity, no other benefits have been disbursed to her so far. It is also contended that encashment of leave surrender and dearness allowance arrears have not been disbursed. 2. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner Sri.K.P.Rajeev and learned counsel for the 1st respondent Sri.R.T.Pradeep. 3. Sri.Pradeep points out that in almost similar facts, this court had directed the 1st respondent to pay the retirement benefits within four W.P.(C).NO.2106/08 :: 2 :: months. He pleads that similar time frame may be adopted in the present case also. After having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for the 1st respondent, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to pay the balance amount by way retirement benefits, as also the amounts covered by Ext.P2 and DA arrears, less any amount that might have been given as per Ext.P1, within four months from today.
