The petitioner is a retiree from the Kerala Road Transport Corporation (for short, 'the Corporation'). According to the petitioner, the terminal leave surrender salary, was also not paid. The priority in the matter of disbursement of retirement benefits, is being governed by the directions of this Court in W.A.No.289/2010. To contend that there exists exceptional circumstances to get an out of turn disbursement of DCRG and Commuted Value of pension, the petitioner has produced Exts.P4 and P4(a). They would reveal that the marriage of the petitioner's daughter is scheduled to be solemnized on 15.09.2011. The contention of the petitioner is that being a retiree, he is not having any other source to conduct the marriage of his daughter. It is in the said circumstances, he is seeking an out of turn disbursement of the aforesaid benefits. I am of the view that the competent officer under the Corporation shall conduct an enquiry into the same and if the claim and contentions of W.P(C) No.6352 of 2011 --2-- the petitioner are found genuine, the respondent shall take appropriate steps for disbursal of retiral benefits including DCRG and Commuted Value of pension to the petitioner, expeditiously. If the claims and contentions are found genuine, the amount due towards DCRG and Commuted Value of pension shall be disbursed to the petitioner, within a period of two months. The terminal leave surrender salary to which the petitioner is entitled, in accordance with the provisions, shall also be quantified and disbursed to the petitioner within the aforesaid time limit. This writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE //TRUE COPY// P.A. TO JUDGE KRK
