ORAL JUDGMENT: (Per R.M.Borde, J.)
1. Heard. Rule. Rule made returnable and heard
forthwith with the consent of learned Counsel for the parties.
2. The petitioner is claiming retirement benefits to the
tune of Rs.5,34,757/- together with interest at the rate of 9 per
cent per annum. It is not a matter of dispute that the
petitioner is a retired employee of the Municipal Council and is
entitled for retirement benefits. Counsel appearing for
respondents, on instructions states that the entitlement of the
petitioner is for an amount of Rs. 4,56,588/- which fact has
been admitted by the learned Counsel appearing for the
petitioner.
3. It is contended by the learned Counsel appearing
for respondent Municipal Council that the Municipal Council is
facing financial hardships and it is not in a position to pay the
dues at once. It also cannot be lost sight of that the petitioner
is a retired employee and needs the amount for his survival.
4. Considering the facts and circumstances of this
case, we pass following order.
