JUDGMENT Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader. The petitioner retired from the service of a corporate management on 31-3-2005. His complaint is that his NLC has not been finalized, though the Accountant General has sanctioned the retiral dues. If more than three years have elapsed after the retirement, the relevant rules in Part III of K.S. & S.S.R. will govern the situation regarding release of pension and other retiral benefits. That cannot be dragged on. Hence, respondents 4 and 1 are directed to ensure that necessary action follows from the required ends to ensure the release of retiral benefits of the WP(C)24970/2008 -: 2 :- petitioner. The writ petition is ordered accordingly. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/290808
