The learned Government Pleader, upon instruction submitted that the liability of the petitioner has been finalised and the DCRG has been authorised to be paid to him, by order dated 29-3-2007, by the second respondent. The Corporation of Kollam has been asked to release Rs.1,36,960/- as DCRG to the petitioner.
