V.V.NANDAGOPAL NAMBIAR, SC., K.S.R.T.C. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: svs C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.2321 of 2011 ---------------------------------------- Dated 16th March, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a retiree from the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (for short `the Corporation'). He retired from its service on 31.3.2010 while working as Vehicle Supervisor. Admittedly, disbursement of retirement benefits in Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (for short `the Corporation') is being governed by the directions in W.A.No.289 of 2001 and a deviation from the same is permissible only in exceptional cases. The contention of the petitioner is that immediately after his retirement from service marriage of his daughter was solemnized on 25.4.2010 and he had to borrow a sum of Rs.3,50,000/- from one Salim Kumar. To support and sustain the said contention he has produced the alleged promissory note. Having perused the same, I am of the considered view that in view of the nature of the documents produced along with the memo, the same cannot be relied on to accept the contention that there exists an exceptional circumstance to deviate from the guidelines in W.A.No.289 of 2001. In the said circumstances, I am of the WP(C).No.2321/2011 2 considered view that this writ petition is bereft of any basis. There is no merits in this writ petition and is liable to fail. Accordingly, this writ petitions is dismissed. Sd/- C.T.RAVIKUMAR Judge TKS // true copy // P.S. to Judge
