RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO. 2197 OF 2011 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 1st day of February, 2011 JUDGMENT This Writ Petition has been filed by a retiree from the service of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (for short 'the Corporation') for an out of turn disbursement of the retiral benefits. Disbursement of retiral benefits under the Corporation is being governed by the directions issued by this Court in W.A.No.289/2001. Any deviation from the same is permissible only in exceptional circumstances. To canvass the position that such exceptional circumstances exist in this case, the petitioner has produced Exts.P2 series and P3. Ext.P2 series would reveal that the Minakappally Village Service Co-operative Bank has issued registered notices demanding the petitioner to pay certain amounts towards the dues arising out of a loan transaction. Ext.P3 would reveal that the petitioner had to remit an amount of Rs.3,50,790/- in connection with the admission of his son for B.Tech Course in Electrical and Electronics at Mohandas College of Engineering and Technology. It is in the said circumstances that the learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner is W.P.(C) NO.2197/2011 2 entitled to get an out of turn disbursement of retiral benefits including DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents. In view of Ext.P2 series and Ext.P3, I am of the view that the genuineness of the claims and contentions raised by the petitioner requires to be enquired by the competent authority under the Corporation. On such enquiry, if it is found that the requests and reasons stated by the petitioner are genuine, the respondents shall sanction the DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension and remit the amount payable by the petitioner towards the Minakappally Village Service Co-operative Bank Ltd. in terms of Ext.P2 series for the purpose of discharging his liability towards the said bank. The balance amount payable to the petitioner shall be disbursed within a period of one month. This Writ Petition is disposed of , accordingly. (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) spc W.P.(C) NO.2197/2011 3 C.T.
