THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/10/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.31380 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of October, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioners are retired employees of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. In this writ petition, their grievance is that the 1st petitioner has not been paid the Provident Fund amount due to him and petitioners 1 and 2 have not been paid Staff Welfare Fund amounts due to them. The contention of the petitioners is that although for DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension they have to stand in the queue, the Provident Fund and Staff Welfare Fund amounts due to them have to be paid immediately on retirement. 2. I have heard the learned Standing Counsel for the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation also. He would submit that the amounts would be paid within one month. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to pay to both the petitioners their Staff Welfare Fund amounts due to them and to pay to the W.P.(c)No.31380/08 2 1st petitioner the Provident Fund amount due to him also within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
