Prv. S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ----------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO. 37876 OF 2010 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of January, 2011. JUDGMENT The petitioner retired from the service of the respondent on 31.03.10 as Deputy Director of Treasuries. The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that the retirement benefits due to the petitioner have not been paid to him although no liability has been fixed on him. A statement has been filed which does not disclose any impediment for releasing the balance retirement benefits due to the petitioner. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to see that the balance retirement benefits due to the petitioner are disbursed to him as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
