His grievance is that his provident fund and staff welfare fund amounts have not been paid to him.

I have heard the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the KSRTC also, who seeks one month's time to pay the amounts. 3. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to see that the provident fund and staff welfare fund amounts due to the petitioner are paid within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
