            Dated this, the 20th day of September, 2010.

                             J U D G M E N T

The petitioner retired from the service of the 1st respondent-

Bank on 31.5.2010. Immediately prior to the date of retirement, a

charge memo was issued, to which the petitioner filed Ext. P2 reply.

But, no proceedings were taken thereafter and the petitioner retired

also. The petitioner’s grievance in this writ petition is that retirement

benefits due to the petitioner have not been disbursed.

2. Learned counsel for the Bank submits that it is only because

of the initiation of the disciplinary proceedings prior to his retirement

that there was some delay in disbursing the retirement benefits. He

submits that the welfare fund amount and pension due to the

petitioner can be disbursed within one month and the balance within

three months.

3. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with

the following directions:

The welfare fund amount and pension due to the petitioner shall

be disbursed within one month from today. The provident fund,

gratuity and other benefits, if any, shall be disbursed within three

months from today.

Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge.
