2. The petitioner is a retired employee of the Tamil Nadu State Transportation Corporation (Kumbakonam) Limited. He retired from service on 28.02.2011. Subsequent to his retirement, a settlement was entered into between the Management and the employees on retrospective basis. It is not in dispute that the petitioner is entitled to the benefits of the wage settlement. Since the difference amount was not paid, this writ petition came to be filed.

3. Today, when the matter was taken up for disposal, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents would submit that difference amount in respect of salary, leave salary and gratuity have already been settled. The pension amount has also been revised. What remains to be settled is the difference amount in respect of arrears of pension and commutation. The Management shall settle the same within a period of eight weeks from today.

4. This Writ petition is allowed as indicated above. No costs.
