The petitioner retired from the K.S.R.T.C. on 31.3.2006. He is waiting in the queue of pensioners to receive the D.C.R.G and commuted value of pension payable to him. Now, he has been served with Ext.P1 notice by Kulathoor Service Co- operative Bank, demanding payment of arrears in a loan amount which will come to Rs.53,309/-. The petitioner submits for clearing the loan amount to the said Co-operative Bank, he may be paid the terminal benefits out of turn. This Court has already held in several writ petitions raising similar claims that indebtedness to a bank cannot be treated as a special ground for jumping the queue. In view of the above position, this writ petition is dismissed. (K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE) (M.C.HARI RANI, JUDGE) ps
