JUDGMENT Petitioners are retired employees of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (for short 'Corporation'). The writ petition is filed seeking a direction directing the respondent Corporation to sanction and disburse arrears of revised pension to the petitioners from 1.4.2009 onwards up to the date of payment of monthly pension in the revised scales forthwith, pending disposal of the writ petition. 2. Entitlement of the petitioners for arrears of pension from 1.4.2009 in terms of the bipartite settlement dated 28.11.2008 executed between the corporation and its employees is the issue involved in this writ petition. This Court disposed of similar writ petitions filed by other employees for the very same relief, directing the respondent Corporation to sanction and disburse the arrears of pension from 1.4.2009 in terms of the bipartite settlement executed W.P.(C).Nos.22974 of 2011 & connected cases 2 in 28.11.2008 to the petitioners expeditiously, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment with interest at the rate of 6% per annum from 1.6.2009. The said relief is extended to similarly situated persons in W.P.(C).No.13255/2011 and connected cases. In this circumstance, these writ petitions are disposed of with a direction to the respondent Corporation to sanction and disburse the arrears of pension from 1.4.2009 to the petitioners, expeditiously, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In case of failure on the part of the respondent Corporation to disburse the amount payable to the petitioners within the stipulated time, the amount payable to each of the petitioners shall carry 6% interest from 1.6.2009.
