SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.33223 OF 2007 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a retired employee of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation who retired on 31.7.2005. He has not been paid his retirement benefits yet. The petitioner submits that the 3rd respondent may be directed to pay to him the provident fund and staff welfare fund amounts due to him expeditiously in so far as the judgment of the Division Bench does not prohibit payment of such amounts, which are amounts belonging to the petitioner himself deducted from his salary from time to time. 2. Learned standing counsel for the KSRTC submits the amount can be paid within one month. However in view of the fact that the petitioner is facing threat of recovery pursuant to Civil Court judgments, I feel that the amounts should be paid within two weeks. W.P.(c) No.33223/07 2 Accordingly this writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to pay to the petitioner the provident fund and staff welfare fund amounts due to the petitioner within two weeks from today.
