Petitioner seeks payment of pensionary benefits overlooking seniority. Petitioner relies on Exts.P2 and P2(a) to contend that the marriage of his daughter is fixed to be solemnised on 26/12/2007. I heard learned counsel for the respondent Corporation also. It is pointed out by the standing counsel for the Corporation that in the normal course of the seniority, petitioner will get the benefits probably by 31/12/2007. In the circumstances of the case and that the petitioner retired as Chargeman, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to pay to the petitioner the amount due as DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension on or before 10/12/2007. The direction to release the amount as aforesaid need be complied with only after retaining such amount as is necessary to clear any liability due from the petitioner on the strength of any agreement executed by him or due from him to the Corporation.
