J U D G M E N T In all these cases, retired employees of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation seek out of turn payment of retirement benefits for marriage of their daughters. The contention of the petitioners is that though for payment of DCRG and commutted value of pension, the petitioners are liable to stand in the queue in accordance with the priority of the date of retirement as per the decision of the Division Bench of this Court , the Division Bench itself had made provision in the judgment for out of turn payments in appropriate circumstances warranting such out of turn payment. It is further submitted that in the case of marriage of daughters, the Division Bench has been allowing out of turn payment on certain conditions. In all these cases, I directed the learned standing counsel appearing for the Corporation to ascertain whether the claim of the petitioners regarding marriage of their daughters is genuine. It is submitted by the learned standing counsel that in all the writ petitions, on enquiry, the claim was found to be genuine. In these circumstances, these writ petitions are disposed of with a direction to the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation to disburse to the petitioners their DCRG, out of turn, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. However, I make it clear that such payment shall not be out of the 10% funds set apart as per the direction of this Court for payment of retirement benefits due to the retired employees of the Corporation, but shall be out of the other funds of the Corporation.
