Sri. V.V.Nandagopal Nambiar, the learned standing counsel appearing for the KSRTC, submits that if after enquiry the Corporation is satisfied that the marriage of the petitioner's daughter is to be solemnised on 23.5.2010, the Corporation will take steps to pay DCRG and commuted value of pension to the petitioner overlooking priority. In such circumstances, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the first respondent to enquire into the genuineness of the claim made by the petitioner for out of turn payment of DCRG and commuted value of pension and to make such payment within one month from the date of production of a copy of this judgment, if the claim of the petitioner is found to be genuine.
