P (C) No. 5689 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 6th March, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a retired employee of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation who retired on 30-4-2007. In this writ petition, he is seeking out of turn payment of his retirement benefits on the ground that he urgently needs money for treatment of his wife who has undergone a major heart surgery. 2. I have heard the learned standing counsel for the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation, who does not dispute the fact that the petitioner's wife is convalescing after a surgery. 3. The Division Bench has held that out of turn payment can be made for treatment expenses of the retired employee and his spouse. In the above circumstances, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondent to disburse the DCRG and commutted value of pension due to the petitioner out of turn within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. However, I make it clear that this payment shall not be out of the ten per cent set apart from 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.
