Wherein the 1st respondent University was directed to formulate a priority list of employees retired as on the date of that judgment to whom payment of terminal benefits due based on their date of retirement has to be disbursed. Eligible amounts due to the persons included in the list was directed to paid within a period of 2 months to 6 months, from the date of the above said judgment onwards.
