                            J U D G M E N T

The petitioner retired from the service of the 2nd respondent

Municipality on 31.3.2010. The petitioner has filed this writ petition

aggrieved by the delay in disbursing the terminal benefits due to the

petitioner. Standing counsel for the Municipality submits that the

delay is only on account of financial stringency of the Municipality and

the Municipality would require at least 6 months’ time to pay off the

amounts.

I do not think that the Municipality can direct the petitioner to

wait for receiving his terminal benefits. Accordingly, this writ petition

is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to disburse the

terminal benefits due to the petitioner such as arrears of D.A and

terminal leave salary, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within

three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.

Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge.
