BY SRI.JOHNSON P.JOHN, SC, KSRTC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/08/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.M. JOSEPH, J. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 25479 OF 2008 G ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 25th day of August, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner retired as Electrician from KSRTC on 30.4.2005. The petitioner seeks out of turn payment of his pensionary benefits to meet the expenses of his daughter's marriage, which is fixed to be solemnised on 7.9.2008. Petitioner has produced Exts.P2 and P3 in support of his claim. I heard the learned Standing Counsel also. I feel that the petitioner is entitled for some partial relief. Writ petition is disposed of as follows: There will be a direction to the 1st respondent to conduct an enquiry as to whether the claim of the petitioner is genuine. The enquiry should be concluded within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. If the claim of the petitioner is found genuine, there will be a further direction to the 1st respondent to disburse the amount due to the petitioner as DCRG, in accordance with law, within a period of six weeks from the date on which the enquiry is concluded. It WPC.25479/08 : 2 : is made clear that the payment will be made only if there is no liability which the petitioner has to discharge from out of DCRG amount. This judgment will not stand in the way of payment of DCRG earlier to the petitioner if the petitioner is entitled for the same in accordance with the principle of seniority.
