JUDGMENT Balakrishnan Nair, J. The petitioner retired from the service of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation on 28.2.2006. He is in great financial difficulties. He is indebted to various financial institutions. His daughter's marriage was solemnised on 12.5.2008. The same added to his financial problems. So, this Writ Petition is filed, praying that the K.S.R.T.C may be ordered to pay the terminal benefits due to him, out of turn. 2. If the financial difficulties of a pensioner is taken as a ground, most of the pensioners will be suffering from that disability. So, all of them will have to be paid out of turn. If that be so, the queue system followed as per the direction of this Court will be rendered futile. Therefore, we feel that this is not a case where payment should WPC 32356/2008 2 be ordered out of turn. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. M.C.HARI RANI, JUDGE.
