JUDGMENT
There are broadly two issues in these matters - which have been heard together - namely: a) The payment of pension in time by the Government to the retired employees of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC). b) Revision of pension, as per the recommendations of the KSRTC of the year 2021.
2. Sri.Santhosh Kumar - learned Special Government
Pleader, appearing for the Transport Department, affirmed that the burden for payment of pension to the retired employees of KSRTC had been taken over by the Government, through its order GO(Rt) No.66/2018/TRANS, dated 17.02.2018, issued pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding with a consortium of Co-operative Societies and the KSRTC. He added that pension has been paid to the employees without any fail until June 2022, but that because there was a small issue qua the interest payable to the consortium, pension for the months of July and August, 2022, are yet to be paid. He added that discussions in this regard are underway and that the imbroglio will be resolved without any further delay.
3. As regards the revision of pension is concerned, the
learned Special Government Pleader submitted that same can be claimed by the petitioners only when the recommendations made by the KSRTC is approved by the Government. He added that the KSRTC has requested for revision of pay and allowances to the employees, and consequentially, pensionary benefits to the retired employees; but that since this would create a large financial burden and will require extensive deliberations with various stakeholders - including the consortium of Banks, the Government has not yet taken a decision thereon. He submitted that hence a time frame cannot be suggested by him, within which, the Government will consider or pass orders on the recommendations of the KSRTC; but assured that necessary action thereon will not be unnecessarily delayed.
4. Sri.Deepu Thankan - learned Standing Counsel for the
KSRTC, affirmed that his client has accepted the revision of pay of employees of the KSRTC, based on a bilateral discussion and consequent agreement with the registered Unions. He submitted that, however, implementation of the same - which will consequentially give rise to revision of pension to the retired employees also - can happen only after the concurrence of the Government is obtained.
5. The learned counsel for various petitioners in these cases
impressed upon me the inexplainable difficulties faced by their clients for the day to day sustenance, including for food and medical expenses, when their pension is defaulted even for a month. In fact, Sri.E.Adithyan - learned counsel for the petitioner in WP(C)No.24079/2021, submitted that an unfortunate news has just broken in the media about a hapless retired employee of KSRTC having committed suicide.
6. No doubt, even one instance of an employee being
driven to distress and to horrible consequences, pulls the strings of the heart of this Court. Such incidents should never happen and this can be ensured only if all pensioners receive their pension within the stipulated time.
7. The revision of pension certainly can take some time since it is subject to the decision to be taken by the Government; but not its payment, lest the pensioners are driven to despondency and hopelessness.
8. I am, therefore, without any doubt in my mind that it
will be justified for this Court to fix a time frame for payment of pension for the months of July and August 2022; and to ensure that, in the succeeding months, it is paid within time.
9. As far as the revision of pension is concerned, certainly,
I find favour with the submissions of the learned Special Government Pleader - Sri.Santhosh Kumar, that the Government must take a decision on this, before the petitioners can claim it, particularly when the financial outlay for the same will have to be carefully worked out and provided for. In the afore circumstances, these Writ Petitions are ordered with the following directions: a) The pension due to the petitioners and other retired eligible employees of the KSRTC for the months of July and August 2022 will be ensured to be paid by the competent Authority of the Government, not later than 25.08.2022. b) As far as pension for September 2022 and the succeeding months are concerned, it shall be disbursed by the competent Authority of the Government within the first week of such months, and if possible, within the first five days thereof. c) The Government will consider the recommendations of the KSRTC relating to revision of pay and pension to their employees and retired employees respectively, after necessary deliberations with all stakeholders, including the Unions, petitioners herein and any other person who may be interested; and will take a final decision thereon, as expeditiously as is possible. I make it clear that am not fixing a time frame for this exercise solely adverting to the request of the learned Special Government Pleader; but record that it is the hortative hope of this Court that the Government will act expeditiously and without delay. After I dictated this part of the judgment, Sri.S.Mohammed Al Rafi and Sri.T.B.Pradeep - learned counsel appearing for some of the petitioners, submitted that the revision of wages has already been implemented by the KSRTC. In reply, Sri.Deepu Thankan submitted that such implementation is subject to the concurrence of the Government. He added that, in any event, since the burden of payment of pension has been taken over by the Government, it is for them to take a final decision on the same, notwithstanding whether revision of pay has been implemented or otherwise. I must say that I find great force in the afore submissions of Sri.Deepu Thankan and am certain that the Government must act in terms of direction (b) above, before revision of pension can be made applicable to the petitioners and other retired employees. Finally, I leave full liberty to any of the parties, including the Government, to seek any clarification from this Court, including for fixation of time frames, if it becomes so necessary.
