The eligibility for revision of commuted value of pension in accordance with the retrospective revision of pay was the subject matter in a batch of writ petition namely, W.P.(C) No.26661/09 and connected cases, in which a learned Judge of this Court held that retired employees of the Kerala State Electricity Board are entitled to revised commuted value of pension based on the retrospective revision of pay. Accordingly, this writ petition is allowed and the respondents are directed to pay the arrears of revised commuted value of pension in accordance with the revised pay as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
