JUDGMENT
The petitioners are retired employees of the 4th respondent. It is stated that all of them retired after 01.09.2014. They claimed the benefit of the judgment of the Supreme Court dated 04.11.2022 in EPFO and Another Vs. Sunil Kumar B. and Others [2022 (7) KHC 12 (SC)].
2. The petitioners complained that the Dearness Allowance and the Pay Revision benefits were overlooked while computing the pensionary benefits lawfully due to them. Accordingly, they seek a direction to respondents 2 and 3 to compute and consequently disburse the pensionary benefits based on the actual pay drawn by them, including Dearness Allowance and Pay Revision benefits.
