Dated this the 31st day of March, 2010
JUDGMENT
The petitioners are former employees of the Kerala State
Electricity Board (KSEB for short) who have retired on attaining
superannuation. They have been directed to be paid gratuity as
per orders in gratuity cases filed by them under the Payment of
Gratuity Act. They complain that in spite of such orders, the
payments have still not been made.
2. The counsel for the KSEB submits that the entire
amounts due to the petitioners have been deposited. However,
they may be directed to be disbursed only subject to the
conditions stipulated by the Division Bench in the judgment
dated 19.3.2010 in R.P.No.440 of 2009 and connected cases.
3. This Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of directing
respondents 1 and 2 to disburse the amounts deposited by the
Kerala State Electricity Board on the petitioners producing
sufficient security to the satisfaction of the said authority in the
form of security bonds executed by themselves and two solvent
sureties.
