(Judgment of the Court was delivered by K.K.SASIDHARAN,J.) The learned Single Judge directed the appellants to pay all the retirement benefits to the first respondent with arrears of pay taking into account his date of retirement viz., 30.04.2015. Feeling aggrieved by the said order, the appellants have come up with this intra court appeal.

2.When the appeal is taken up for hearing, the learned Special Government Pleader by producing a copy of the proceedings dated 25.04.2019 submitted that pursuant to the direction given by the learned Single Judge, the Department has granted all the benefits to the first respondent. 3.Since the appellants have already complied with the order passed by the Writ Court, nothing survives for further adjudication.

4.We are informed that the Management has already forwarded necessary papers to the appellants for passing appropriate orders for payment of the benefits to the first respondent. We direct the appellants to pay the benefits to the first respondent as expeditiously as possible, and in any case on or before 30th June, 2019. The arrears should be paid by 30th June, 2019, in addition to the regular pension. In case the papers are forwarded by the appellants, necessarily the same should be processed and disposed of by the Accountant General, as expeditiously as possible to comply with the above time bound direction.

5.The intra court appeal is disposed of with the above direction. No costs. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is also closed.
