SRI.N.SASIDHARAN UNNITHAN RESPONDENT(S): ------------------- KERALA STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORPORATION, REPRESENTED BY THE MANAGING DIRECTOR, KSRTC, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM-695023. SRI.V.V.N.NAMBIAR, SC, KSRTC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 36431 OF 2009 (Y) ===================== Dated this the 13th day of January, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner retired from the service of the respondent as an Assistant Transport Officer on 31/5/2008. His terminal benefits such as DCRG and commuted value of pension have not been paid and he seeks a preferential treatment in the matter of payment on the ground that the marriage of his daughter is scheduled to be held on 15/4/2010. In proof of his averment justifying the preferential treatment, he has produced Exts.P2 and P3. 2. Having regard to the materials produced, I am inclined to think that the petitioner is entitled to get preferential treatment in the matter of disbursement of his terminal benefits. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition directing the respondent to disburse DCRG, commuted value of pension and dues towards staff welfare. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
