Dated this the 30th day of October, 2025
JUDGMENT
In all these cases, the petitioners seek a direction to disburse
the pension arrears payable to the petitioners under the Non-
Journalist Pension Scheme, 2000. This Court had passed an interim
order on 18th July, 2025 as follows:-
"All these cases pertain to the demand for arrears of
pension to the Non-Journalist Employees, as per the
Scheme introduced by the Government on 04.02.2000.
The eligibility of the petitioners for receiving the
arrears of pension is not in dispute.
2. In the said circumstances, a statement shall be
filed by the competent among the respondents,
clearly indicating the timeline for payment of the
arrears of pension due to the petitioners."
2025:KER:81765
W.P.(C) No.5589 of 2025 & con. Cases
2. Thereafter, another order was passed on 14th October, 2025,
as follows:-
"Pursuant to the interim order passed by this Court on
18.07.2025, a statement has been filed on W.P.(C) No.
10052/2025 dated 15.09.2025, which reads as follows:
"9. Complying with the orders of the Hon'ble Court
dated 18.07.2025 in the above WP(C)s, the
Directorate and the District offices of I&PRD are in
the process of calculating the arrears. Since, this
involves examination of files pertaining to nearly
4000 pensioners, it is estimated that it will take at
least ten months to complete the process of
calculating the pension arrears and submitting a
proposal to the Department of Finance reflecting
the total amount of arrears.
10. These respondents are also in the process
ascertaining the amount of pension arrears payable
to the petitioners in the instant case, while the
entire possible outlay is being computed."
2. The stand that the quantification will take ten months
to complete the process is not acceptable. The arrears
with respect to the writ petitioners alone shall be
quantified, and the timeline indicated for payment of the
same shall be intimated within two weeks from today."
2025:KER:81765
W.P.(C) No.5589 of 2025 & con. Cases
3. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners
and the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents in
both the cases.
4. Though the additional statement filed on behalf of the 3rd
respondent stated that the quantification involves examination of
files pertaining to nearly 4,000 pensioners which will take at least ten
months to complete the process, the petitioners in W.P.(C) Nos.5589 of
2025 and 6631 of 2025 have produced Ext.P3 order, where
quantification had already been made by the Information and Public
Relations Department as early as on 31.12.2021 and Ext.P3 in W.P.(C)
No.5589 of 2025 on 24.04.2022.
5. I have also noticed the contention of the learned counsel
for the petitioners that these are amounts credited to a separate
account using the contributions/donations from the petitioners as
well as the Government, apart from the management.
6. Be that as it may, I am inclined to pass a common
direction in all these cases as above.
2025:KER:81765
W.P.(C) No.5589 of 2025 & con. Cases
7. Taking note of the fact that the petitioners' eligibility to
receive the arrears is not in question, the arrears of pension due to
them will be disbursed in ten equal monthly instalments, starting
from 1st January, 2026.
The Writ petition is disposed of as above.
