KERALA STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD, VYDHUTHI BHAVAN, PATTOM, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM REP. BY SECRETARY. 2. EXECUTIVE ENGINEER, ELECTRICAL DIVISION, K.S.E.B., PATHANAMTHITTA. BY STANDING COUNSEL FOR KSEB SRI.K.S. ANIL. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.15037 of 2010 ------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T The claim of the petitioner is that consequent on the revision of pension effected by Ext.P1, an amount of Rs.60,965/- is due to him towards arrears. Despite representations that has not been paid, and therefore, this writ petition. 2. The learned standing counsel appearing for the Board, on instructions, concedes that amount as claimed by the petitioner is due. However, he only says that petitioner should furnish the particulars of the gratuity claimed by him from the Board, which according to him, is a requirement in terms of clause 8(1) of Ext.P1. In so far as the petitioner is concerned, though he has claimed gratuity by making an application before the controlling authority, no order has been passed and no payment has been made. Considering the above facts of this case, I do not think that clause 8(1) of Ext.P1 has any relevance in this case. W.P.(C) No.15037 of 2010 2 The writ petition is therefore disposed of directing the second respondent to disburse an amount of Rs.60,965/-, being the arrears of pension due to the petitioner. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE. nj.
