JUDGMENT
The petitioners in all these cases are retired employees of the KSRTC and their Associations. Their common grievance is that the pension payable to retired employees of KSRTC is not revised periodically, in tune with salary revisions. The writ petitions are hence heard and disposed of together.
2. In W.P.(C) No. 18688 of 2023, the petitioners have challenged Exhibit P5 order dated 16.5.2023, issued by the 1st respondent, rejecting the petitioners’ request for revision of pension in line with other Government employees and for reduction of the existing disparity, on the reason that such relief would impose an additional financial burden on the KSRTC and the State Government.
3. In W.P.(C) No.13572 of 2024 and W.P.(C) No. 6611 of 2024, the petitioners have challenged the order dated 5.2.2024, produced as Exhibits P5 and P9 in W.P.(C) No.13752 of 2024 and W.P.(C
