the petitioners."

2. Heard the learned counsel appearing on either side and perused the materials available on record.

3. The petitioners joined the service of the respondent corporation as Helper Trainee, Driver and Conductor on various dates and they retired in the year 2024. Subsequently, the 15th Wage Settlement was entered into between the Management and the Trade Unions on 29.05.2025, pursuant to which the wages and pension were also revised with effect from 01.09.2023. Since the petitioners had retired in the year 2024, they are also entitled to the difference in leave salary and gratuity as per the 15th Wage Settlement.

However, the said representation has not been considered so far.

4. In view of the above, the respondents are directed to pay the applicable differential amount of leave salary, gratuity to the 3/6
