TO JUDGE tss HARUN-UL-RASHID, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 27994 of 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 21st day of October 2011. JUDGMENT Petitioner is a retired employee of Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. The petitioner prayed for a direction to the Corporation to disburse the terminal leave surrender salary admissible to the petitioner immediately. The counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is legally entitled to get his terminal leave surrender salary immediately on retirement, but the respondent failed to arrange payment of the terminal leave surrender salary within a reasonable time from the date of retirement. 2. When the matter was taken up for final hearing today, learned standing counsel for the Corporation submits that the terminal leave surrender salary to which the petitioner is legally entitled will be disbursed within a period of one month. The submission is recorded. Some other employees of the Corporation W.P.(C) No. 27994/2011 2 moved this court for the very same relief in W.P.(C )No. 14585/2011 and other cases. The relief sought for in that case is allowed by this Court and a direction was issued to the Corporation to calculate and disburse the terminal leave surrender salary expeditiously at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Following the aforesaid decision of this Court, a direction is issued to the respondent Corporation to disburse the terminal leave surrender salary due to the petitioner expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. HARUN-UL-RASHID JUDGE al
