He has approached this Court for payment of the balance amount of DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension due to him for meeting the expenses of marriage of his daughter fixed to be solemnized on 29.5.2008. Petitioner had approached this Court earlier pleading financial stringency and obtained Ext.P5 Judgment. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the entire DCRG has been paid. Then what remains is Commuted Value of Pension. The amount is to be disbursed on the basis of seniority. Then, the learned counsel for petitioner submits that the petitioner has no other funds and the marriage is to be held. Heard the learned standing counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent Corporation also, who points out that DCRG has already been paid. But, having regard to all circumstances, the WPC. 14852/08 R 2 Writ Petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to pay a sum of Rs.50,000/= (Rupees Fifty Thousand) only to the petitioner from the amount due to him as Commuted Value of Pension in accordance with law, within a period of five months from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment.
