Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 1415 of 2011 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 10th day of February, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a retired employee of the Travancore Devaswom Board, who retired from service on 30.11.2010. The petitioner is aggrieved by the delay in disbursing his retirement benefits as also arrears of pay revision benefits. The standing counsel for the Devaswom Board submits that the delay occurred on account of the fact that the petitioner was subjected to disciplinary proceedings thrice, suspending him and he was also unauthorisedly absent for 13 years and therefore all these periods have to be regularised before the arrears of pay revision benefits and the retirements benefits due to the petitioner can be disbursed. He seeks a reasonable time for completing the process. Having head both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with the following directions: The arrears of pay revision benefits shall be disbursed to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Retirement benefits due to the petitioner shall be disbursed as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Sd/- S.
