TRUE COPY P.A.TO JUDGE dsn T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C).No.27398 OF 2010 ------------------------------------ DATED THIS THE 31st DAY OF OCTOBER, 2011 JUDGMENT The writ petitioner herein retired from service on 18.11.2004. The petitioner had availed voluntary retirement from service. Thereafter the pensionary benefits were sanctioned as per Exhibit P2 order. Out of the total amount sanctioned, the commuted value of pension and monthly pension have been disbursed to the petitioner; but from the amount of DCRG sanctioned, only an amount of Rs.72,311/- was paid. It is in there circumstances that the Writ Petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking for various reliefs. 2. Another problem that is pointed out by the petitioner is with regard to the reduction from the monthly pension that was sanctioned. 3. In the affidavit filed in support of I.A.No.17027/11, it is averred that the Joint Director of Local Fund Audit, Cochin University of Science and Technology(CUSAT), as per its order dated 10.3.2011 has re-fixed the pensionary benefits due to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner has been sanctioned an amount of Rs.2,80,000/- by way of DCRG, Rs.5,77,398/- by way of commuted value of pension and an amount of Rs.8,208 as monthly pension. W.P.(C).No.27398/10 -2- 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the objection as regards the fixation of pension has been cleared by the Local Fund Audit and therefore a direction may be issued to the University to disburse the amount sanctioned. 5. Heard the learned Standing Counsel for the University. 6. My attention was invited to communication dated 9.3.2011 from the Joint Director of Local Fund Audit, CUSAT, Kochi-22 addressed to the Finance Officer of the CUSAT. The same confirms with the averments made by the petitioner in the Writ Petition. In that view of the matter, the Writ Petition is allowed. There will be a direction to the respondents to disburse the amounts sanctioned in the light of the communication issued by the Joint Director of Local Fund Audit dated 9.3.2011. The eligible amounts will be released to the petitioner within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Sd/-( T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE ) dsn
