WP No. 42696 of 2026
2. With the consent of both the parties, this writ petition is disposed at the admission stage.
3. The petitioner herein was initially appointed as Cleaner in the respondent-Corporation on 29.12.1987 at E2 branch, Erode Region and after completing 37 years of service, the petitioner had retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation on 30.09.2019. While the petitioner was in service, according to the petitioner, he became a member of the Post Retirement Benefits Scheme introduced by the respondent-Corporation and necessary contributions have been made by the petitioner while he was in service. However, at the time of retirement of the petitioner, he was not paid the Post Retirement Benefits Scheme amount to the tune of Rs.18,500/- and therefore, the petitioner came to have submitted a representation dated 05.08.2026 requesting the respondent-Corporation to pay the said amount.
4. It is the further case of the petitioner that the petitioner had submitted a representation under the Right to Information Act before the respondent- Corporation requiring as to why the said amount has not been paid to the petitioner.
5. In response thereto, the respondent-Corporation has furnished a reply vide proceedings in Pa.No.SPL/P1,2/Vai.Ni/ThaNaAPoKa/Kovai/E.Ma./2026 dated 09.07.2026 admitting the entitlement of the petitioner for payment of the amount of Rs.18,500/-.
WP No. 42696 of 2026
6. It was thereafter the petitioner once again made a representation dated 05.08.2026 requesting the release of the said amount. However, according to the petitioner, the respondent-Corporation has not paid the said amount to the petitioner, which warranted the petitioner to file the present writ petition.
7. When the respondent-Corporation itself admitted that the said amount is due on payable to the petitioner, this Court does not see any justification for the respondent-Corporation in not paying the same, thereby forcing the petitioner to approach this Court by filing the present writ petition.
8. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent-Corporation to take all necessary steps for disbursing all eligible amount under the Post Retirement Benefits Scheme to the petitioner along with dearness allowance, if any, due and payable to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible within a period of eight(8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
