THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/10/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.M.JOSEPH, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - WP.(C) No. 30020 of 2007 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 10th day of October, 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioner retired as Conductor on 31.5.2007. He seeks out of turn payment of pensionary benefits including DCRG, Commuted Value of Pension etc. He has produced Ext.P2 issued by the third respondent demanding payment of Rs.3,14,320/-. It is pointed out that if there is no payment in terms of the notice, steps will certainly be taken under the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act. Petitioner retired as a Conductor and he is apparently faced with a huge liability. Going by Ext.P2 it is certain that Securitisation Act will be pressed into service. I feel that some relaxation can be given from the principle of seniority. The writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to pay over to the third respondent on behalf of the petitioner the amount due to the petitioner as DCRG or Commuted Value of Pension, whichever is higher within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
