At the instance of certain similarly circumstanced retirees from the Corporation the said question was considered and this Court in Writ Appeal No. 210/10 directed the respondent to grant the benefits flowing from the said bipartite settlement dated 28.11.2008 to the concerned retirees. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners in all these writ petitions are similarly situated to the beneficiaries of the judgment in Writ Appeal No.210/10. The learned counsel for the respondent also endorsed the same. In view of the admitted position regarding the entitlement of the petitioners, I am of the view that these writ petitions can be disposed of. Accordingly, these writ petitions are disposed of with a direction to the respondent to WPC.10515/2011 : 2 : sanction and disburse the arrears of pension from 1.4.2009 in terms of the bipartite settlement concluded on 28.11.2008 to the petitioners expeditiously, at any rate within one month from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment. In case of failure on the part of the respondents to disburse the amount payable to the petitioners within the above stipulated time the amount payable to the petitioners would carry interest @ 6% per annum from 1.6.2009 Sd/- (C.T.
