DATED THIS THE 3rd DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2010 JUDGMENT The complaint of the petitioner is that though he retired on 30.6.2008 from the service of the second respondent Bank, as a Branch Manager, under the Voluntrary Retirement Scheme, his pension has not been disbursed till date. According to the first respondent, the pension has not been disbursed for the reason that the second respondent had not deposited the entire pension fund contribution of the petitioner. Therefore, as per Exts.P1 and P3, the second respondent was directed to remit an amount of Rs.1,25,266/- with interest towards the pension fund contribution of the petitioner. The petitioner approached this court complaining that the second respondent had not remitted the said amount in spite of the above direction. 2. It is submitted by the counsel for the first respondent that the amounts directed to be deposited, as the pension fund contribution of the petitioner has already been remitted by the second respondent, Bank. Therefore, the pension of the petitioner would be disbursed Wpc 24123/2009 2 within a short while. 3. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to fix and disburse to the petitioner the pension due to him, as expeditiously as possible, and at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
