ORDER

By consent, the main writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal.

2. The petitioners joined the services of the Transport Corporation and they retired from service long before. The grievance of the petitioners is that though they retired from service long before, till date, they were not paid with the retirement benefits. In this regard, the petitioners submitted an individual representation dated 16.09.2016 before the respondent. However, till date, there was no response. Aggrieved against the same, the present Writ Petition has been filed.

3. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned counsel, who has taken notice on behalf of the respondent.

4. The issue involved in the present writ petitions is squarely covered by the judgment of the Division Bench of the Madurai Bench of this Court dated 12.6.2015 made in W.A.(MD) Nos.383 to 457 of 2015 (K.Rajendran & Others vs. The Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (Madurai) Limited, rep. by its Managing Director, Madurai and others).

5. Following the said judgment, without going into the merits of the matter, the respondent is directed to consider the representations of the petitioners dated 16.09.2016 and to disburse the aforementioned retiral benefits to the petitioners herein, in twelve equal monthly instalments, in the light of the common judgment passed by this Court in W.A.(MD) Nos.383 to 457 of 2015 (K.Rajendran & Others vs. The Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (Madurai) Limited, rep. by its Managing

Director, Madurai and others), dated 12.06.2015. It is also made clear that the first instalment shall commence from 01.02.2017.

6. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
