THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/05/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: WP(C).No.14313 of 2007-D. 1 T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ========================== W.P.(C).No.14313 OF 2007-D. ========================== Dated this the 4th day of May, 2007. J U D G M E N T The petitioner retired from the service of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation on 31-5-2006. The case of the petitioner is that the retirement benefits like DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension have not been sanctioned and paid to him so far. It is submitted by the petitioner that the marriage of his daughter Kumari Reshma is expected to be held on 10-5- 2007 and therefore he is in urgent need of money to meet the expenses of the marriage. According to the petitioner, even though the disbursement of said benefits have been regulated by the Judgment of a Division Bench of this Court in WA.No.289/2001, in similar cases for marriage purposes, as per Ext.P4 judgment, out of turn payments have been directed by this Court in similar circumstances. 2. Since the marriage of the petitioner's WP(C).No.14313 of 2007-D. 2 daughter is to be held on 10-5-2007 as evident from Ext.P2, there is ample justification for directing to release the DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension to the petitioner. Therefore, following the judgment Ext.P4, this Writ petition is disposed of with the following order: 3. The respondents will sanction and disburse the DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension due to the petitioner at the earliest and at any rate before 10-5- 2007. Issue copy today itself.
