JOSEPH, J. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 6844 OF 2008 M ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 8th day of July, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner Corporation challenges Ext.P2. It is an order passed by the Kerala Lok Ayukta on a complaint filed by the respondent alleging that the respondent's husband is undergoing treatment for cardiac problems. Accepting her plea, the Lok Ayukta has directed disbursal of DCRG and commuted value of pension. The respondent's husband retired on 31.8.2006. The question at hand regarding payment of DCRG by the direction of Lok Ayukta is covered by a Division Bench decision which is produced as Ext.P6. Accordingly, it is clear that there is no jurisdiction to Lok Ayukta to pass Ext.P2 order and, therefore, Ext.P2 is liable to be quashed. Having regard to the facts, I feel that the respondent should be given some relief. Accordingly, while quashing Ext.P2, it is ordered that if the respondent files an application before the petitioner within a period of one month WPC.6844/08 : 2 : from today pointing out her woes and claiming benefit of the amount of DCRG, the amount representing DCRG will be disbursed to her in accordance with law within one month from the date of filing of the application. This need be complied with only if there is no liability to be satisfied out of the DCRG. The writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- (K.M.JOSEPH, JUDGE) aks
