ADV.K.S.ANIL, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 31/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 10384 of 2011 ================== Dated this the 31st day of March, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a retired employee of the Kerala State Electricity Board. After her retirement, the scales of pay of the employees of the Electricity Board have been revised retrospectively with effect from the date when the petitioner was in service. Consequently, the petitioner's pay was revised. The complaint of the petitioner in this writ petition is that correspondingly the DCRG and commuted value of pension have not been revised and arrears paid. It is under the above circumstances, the petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking the following reliefs; “1) A writ of mandamus or other appropriate writ, direction or order commanding the respondents to revise the DCRG and commuted value of pension in respect of the petitioner on the basis of the revised basic pension admissible on the basis of the revised pay and to disburse the arrears of DCRG and commuted value of pension to the petitioner within a time frame. 2) A declaration to the effect that the petitioner is entitled to get his (sic) DCRG and commuted value of pension revised on the basis of the revised basic pension admissible on the basis of the revised pay on the strength of Ext.P4 judgment.” 2. The learned standing counsel for the Electricity Board admits that the issue involved in this writ petition is squarely covered by Ext.P4 judgment of this Court. On going through Ext.P4, I am in respectful agreement with the same. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of quashing clauses 6.1, 7.1 and 7.2 to the extent it w.p.c.10384/11 2 discriminates the petitioner on the basis of her date of retirement and directing the respondents to extend the benefit of revised DCRG and commuted value of pension uniformly to the petitioner without discrimination on the basis of her date of retirement.
