KURIAN JOSEPH , J ================================== W.P.(C) NO. 2195 OF 2006 ================================== Dated this the 11th day of July, 2007. JUDGMENT The petitioner approached this Court with certain grievances regarding recovery effected from his salary. According to the petitioner, the entire dues had already been paid. According to the counsel for the society, apparently there is delay on the part of the 2nd respondent in remitting the amounts to the society. It appears that a verification of the accounts is necessary in order to settle the matter. If as a matter of fact, amounts have been recovered by the K.S.R.T.C from the salary of the petitioner, for the delay beyond one month in remitting the same to the society, the petitioner cannot be saddled with any liability. There will be a direction to the 1st respondent to look into the matter with notice to the petitioner and the 3rd respondent and take appropriate action in the light of the observation made above within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The interim order passed by this Court on 20.12.2004 will continue till such time. The 3rd respondent will furnish the statement of accounts and the competent officer under the 1st respondent will furnish a copy of the statement regarding the recovery. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. rv
