JOHNSON P. JOHN, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J ================== W.P(C)No.33023 of 2008 ================== Dated this the 10th day of November, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner retired from service of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation on 31.07.2005. The petitioner's grievance is that the petitioner has not been paid his DCRG and Provident Fund. The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent to disburse the DCRG and Provident Fund due to the petitioner. The petitioner has no case that the petitioner's turn as per the date of priority of retirement has arrived. Therefore he cannot claim payment of DCRG unless he shows some cogent reason for payment out of turn. The petitioner has not stated any special reason for payment of DCRG out of turn. Even otherwise, going by date of retirement the petitioner's turn is likely to arrive very soon. As such I am not inclined to direct payment of DCRG out of turn. However, the petitioner is entitled to payment of provident fund amount with interest up to the date of payment. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondent to pay to the petitioner provident fund W.P(C)No.33023 of 2008 - 2 - amounts due to him with interest up to the date of payment, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
