By Ext.P6, a liability of ` 1,51,478/- has been fixed on the petitioner, which was sought to be recovered from his DCRG. The contention of the petitioner is that before fixing the said liability, the petitioner was not given an opportunity of being heard. 2. The learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that Ext.P6 liability certificate has been revised and presently only an amount of ` 7159/- has been fixed as liability of the petitioner. The revised liability certificate has been issued on 18.10.2010, he submits. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the respondents may be directed to pay to the petitioner the DCRG due to him after deducting the said liability of ` 7159/-. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to see that the DCRG due to the petitioner after deducting the amount of ` 7159/- is disbursed to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
