ANTONY MUKKATH – GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/10/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------ W.P.(C) No.20278 OF 2010 ------------------------------- Dated this the 13th day of October, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner retired from the Chengannur Municipality as a Sanitation Worker on 30.11.2005. His grievance in this writ petition is that he has not been paid DA arrears, Leave Surrender Benefits, Pay Revision arrears, revised pension, revised pension commutation and DCRG. Originally, the learned Standing Counsel for the Municipality appeared and contended that it is because of want of authorisation from the Local Fund Audit office that the amounts could not be paid to the petitioner. Therefore, I directed the petitioner to implead the Deputy Director, Local Fund Audit Department, Alappuzha District as additional respondent, which has been done. I directed the learned Government Pleader to get instructions from the Local Fund Audit Department as to why the authorisation for release of the amount to the petitioner has not been issued. The learned Government Pleader on instructions submits that the W.P.(c)No.20278/10 2 authorisation has been issued yesterday (12.10.2010). In the above circumstances, the first respondent is directed to release all the amount due to the petitioner, which are claimed in this writ petition as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE acd W.P.(c)No.20278/10 3
