     THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
24.03.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
 WP(C).No.5355 OF 2021(T)

                                   3




                            JUDGMENT

Dated this the 24th day of March 2021

The petitioners are the employees of the

K.S.R.T.C. According to the petitioners, though they

have completed their probation and were in the

service, their eligible amounts towards the arrears of

salary are not paid, even after many years. Hence,

they approached this Court for a direction to pay the

arrears due to them legally.

2. The learned Standing Counsel for the

K.S.R.T.C on instructions submitted that they can pay

the money within a period of four months.

3. Having considering the fact, that the

amount is due since long, I am inclined to direct the

K.S.R.T.C to pay the entire arrears due to the

petitioners as expeditiously as possible, at any rate,

within a period of three months from the date of

receipt of a copy of this judgment. WP(C).No.5355 OF 2021(T)

Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of.
