BY SRI.JOHNSON P.JOHN, SC, KSRTC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.M. JOSEPH, J. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 26588 OF 2008 M ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 3rd day of September, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a widow. She retired from service on 30.4.2006. Petitioner seeks out of turn payment of her pensionary benefits to meet the expenses of her eldest daughter's marriage, which is fixed to be solemnised on 12.10.2008 as evident from Ext.P3 marriage invitation letter. It is submitted that the petitioner is entitled to get CVP which amounts to Rs.58,242/- and that the petitioner is getting pension at the rate of Rs.1,977/- per month. It is also submitted that the 2nd respondent has sanctioned gratuity of Rs.51,680/- to the petitioner. 2. I heard learned standing counsel for KSRTC also. I feel that this is a case where the principle of seniority has to be deviated as the petitioner is a widow and the total amount due to the petitioner as CVP and DCRG will come to nearly Rs.1,10,000/-. Writ petition is disposed of as follows. WPC.26588/08 : 2 : There will be a direction to the 1st respondent to conduct an enquiry as to whether the claim of the petitioner is genuine. The enquiry should be concluded within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. If the claim of the petitioner is found genuine, there will be a further direction to the 1st respondent to disburse the amount due to the petitioner as DCRG and CVP, in accordance with law, before the date of marriage of her daughter i.e., 12.10.2008. It is made clear that the amount due as DCRG need be paid only after providing for the liabilities of the petitioner to be discharged from out of the DCRG.
