T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR,J. ------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.16423 of 2010 --------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 4th DAY OF JUNE, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner retired from service of the respondent- Corporation on 30.11.2007. The Corporation has paid retirement benefits only to persons who have retired till May, 2007 so far. The marriage of the daughter of the petitioner is fixed to be held on 4.7.2010 at Jaya Auditorium, KUlakkada. The petitioner has also availed different loans from the Kerala State Road Transport Workers Co-operative Society earlier for various purposes. 2. In these circumstances, he has filed this Writ Petition seeking for appropriate direction to the Corporation to release DCRG and commuted value of pension. 3. Heard the learned Standing Counsel for the Corporation, who does not dispute the averment in the Writ Petition that the marriage of the daughter of the petitioner is scheduled to take place on 4.7.2010. Therefore the same is a genuine ground for considering the prayer of the petitioner to release the DCRG and commuted value of pension. In W.A.NO.289/2001, this Court has specified that benefit would be W.P.(C)No.16423/10 -2- disbursed according to the seniority unless otherwise ordered by this Court. 4. Since the petitioner has projected a genuine reason, there will be a direction to the respondent-Corporation to disburse the retirement benefits to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, at any rate before 4.7.2010. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE. dsn
