HONOURABLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 21012 of 2009 Date: 08.12.2009 Between: K.Anjamma, Secunderabad. … Petitioner And A.P.State Road Transport Corporation, Hyderabad and 2 others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 21012 of 2009 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in not settling the service benefits of the petitioner’s husband in terms of the directions of this Court in W.P.No.29917 of 2009 dated 05.07.2006 is arbitrary and illegal. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents stating as under: “It is submitted that the entire gratuity payable to the husband of the petitioner for his entire service i.e., from 25.11.1967 to 31.07.1991 calculated a sum of Rs.45,468/- and after deducting Rs.33,204/- already paid in the year 1997 the balance amount of Rs.4,241/- was paid on 07.04.1998 and Rs.8,023/- was paid on 23.01.999. However interest @ 9% on the differential amount was not paid. The interest is calculated as per the directions of the Hon’ble Court in W.P.No.29917 of 1998 for the delayed period and the same was arrived at an amount of Rs.1,126/- for which payment will be arranged immediately to the petitioner. It is submitted that other service benefits like provident fund, leave encashment etc., were calculated and was paid in the year 1997 itself and no other benefits are payable to the petitioner.” However, in the reply affidavit filed on behalf of the petitioner it is contended that the stand taken by the respondents that the petitioner is entitled to receive only a sum of Rs.1,126/- is untenable and as a matter of fact, the petitioner’s husband, who worked with the Corporation for nearly 30 years is entitled to gratuity, provident fund and other terminal benefits to the tune of Rs. 4 lakhs. Having regard to the rival claims, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition permitting the petitioner to make an appropriate representation before the Corporation furnishing the details of her claim within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of this order. If any such representation is made, the respondent shall consider the same in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders within a period of eight weeks thereafter. No costs. _____________ G.ROHINI,J Date: 08.12.2009 KLP
