JUDGMENT

3. In any event, the retired employee has to survive and in such circumstance, the Municipality shall pay 50% of the amounts due within three months and the balance 50% shall be paid within three months thereafter.

Writ Petition is disposed of with the above direction. Sd/- K. VINOD CHANDRAN, JUDGE.
