PRABHAKARAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 1807 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 16th January, 2009. J U D G M E N T Petitioners are retired employees of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. Petitioners' grievance in this writ petition is that although, for getting DCRG and commutted value of pension, they have to stand in the queue in accordance with the priority of the date of retirement, they are entitled to payment of provident fund and staff welfare fund amounts, which are not paid to them for which they seek a direction to the respondents. 2. I have heard the learned standing counsel for the respondents also. 3. This Court has consistently directed payment of provident fund and staff welfare fund amounts due to retired employees of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to pay to the petitioners the provident fund and staff welfare fund amounts due to them as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
