I have heard the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Corporation also. The learned Standing Counsel does not dispute the genuineness of the claim of the petitioner. 3. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to disburse the DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension due to the petitioner within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. However, I make it clear that this payment shall not be out of the ten per cent set W.P.(c)No.8085/09 2 apart for paying off the retirement benefits in accordance with the priority of the date of retirement, but shall be out of other funds of the Corporation.
