JUDGMENT

Petitioners were the retired employees of the Kerala Agricultural University. They approached this Court on account of delay in disbursing D.A. arrears.

Learned Standing Counsel appearing for the University submitted that there are 33 petitioners and the University is unable to discharge the liability due to the petitioners to the paucity of funds and they require atleast one year time to pay the entire liability.

Considering the facts and circumstances, the University shall discharge the entire liability due to the petitioners within a period of five months from today.

The writ petition is disposed of as above.
