The contention of the petitioner is that the payment of bonus is as per the decision of the General Body. Be that as it may, it is seen that the bonus is paid for the period 1999-2000. It is also submitted that in several cases the Government has ratified such payment of bonus. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of in terms of the interim order. (KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE) ahg.
