NO.19112 OF 2011 ------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 3RD DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2011 JUDGMENT This writ petition is filed for a direction commanding the respondents to pay wage revision arrears from 1/3/1997 to 31/1/2011 and revised pension with arrears and terminal benefits of 2008 wage revision benefits to the petitioner within a reasonable time. By Ext.P8 interim order dated 14/7/2011 this Court issued a direction to the lst respondent to sanction and disburse arrears of 1997 pay revision to the petitioner within a period of six months from the date of the order. 2. The issue involved in this writ petition can be disposed of in terms of the directions in the judgment in W.P.(C). No. 34325/2010 and connected matters. This Court, after hearing W.P.(C).No.34325/2010 and connected matters, directed the Corporation to disburse the arrears of salary and pension, after taking into consideration the bipartite settlement on 13/4/1999. -2- W.P.(C).No.19112/2011 The facts of this case are similar to the case so decided and therefore the petitioner is entitled to get the same relief as has been granted in the said case. 3. A Division Bench of this Court in Writ Appeal No.210/2010 also took a similar view and appropriate directions were issued to the Corporation to pay the amount due to the appellants therein and if the same is not paid within the stipulated time, the amount due to the appellants shall carry interest at 6% per annum from 1/6/2009. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to disburse the revised pension with arrears and other benefits of 2008 wage revision to the petitioner within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The arrears of 1997 pay revision shall be paid to the petitioner on or before the time fixed by this Court in the interim order dated 14/7/2011. It is made clear that in case of failure on the part of the Corporation to disburse the benefits to the -3- W.P.(C).No.19112/2011 petitioner within the time stipulated above, the amount shall carry interest at 6% per annum.
