VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J ----------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.36581/2008 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of December, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioners are Lecturers in the Devaswom Board Pamba College. In this writ petition what they are seeking is the relief that has been granted by this court in Ext.P3 judgment. In Ext.P3, this court held as follows; "In view of the directions issued in Ext.P2 judgment and also in the light of the contentions put forwarded by the petitioner and the submissions made by the learned Government Pleader, I am of the view that Ext.P3 is liable to be quashed. I accordingly quash Ext.P3. The petitioner is entitled to get deduction of income tax on the D.A arrears payable to him. After deducting the income tax payable on the D.A arrears, the balance WP(c).No.36581/2008 2 alone should go to the Provident Fund Account in terms of Ext.P1. In other words the entire D.A. arrears should not be credited to the P.F account. The petitioner and similarly situated persons should not be burdened with the liability to pay income tax payable on the D.A arrears out of their salary, but it should be carved out from the D.A. arrears. If bills are presented accordingly, the 2nd respondent shall countersign such bills expeditiously." In view of the similarity of the claim and as the issue is already covered, it is ordered that the petitioner will be entitled to the benefit of paragraph `4' of Ext.P3 judgment and that the 2nd respondent shall countersign the bill submitted by the 4th respondent in accordance with the above direction. Writ Petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC vi JUDGE WP(c).No.36581/2008 3 vi.
