SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------ W.P.(C)Nos.22493 & 30406 OF 2008 --------------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of December, 2008 JUDGMENT In both these writ petitions, the petitioners are challenging orders withholding amounts from the petitioners' DCRG. The petitioners had taken loan from the 3rd respondent – Kerala State Transport Workers' Co-operative Society. The instalment amounts of re-payment of the same had been recovered from the petitioners' monthly salary. Respondents 1 and 2 did not pay the amounts so recovered to the 3rd respondent as required. As a result, the interest mounted and that additional interest is sought to be recovered from the DCRG due to the petitioners. 2. I have heard the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the KSRTC also. The learned Standing Counsel submits that the withheld amounts would be released to the petitioners within a period of one week. This submission is recorded and the writ petitions are disposed of with a direction to respondents 1 and 2 to see that the amounts recovered from the DCRG due to the petitioners are disbursed to them within a period of one week.
