In this writ petition the petitioner, who retired from the service of the K.S.R.T.C. on 31.10.2003, seeks payment of retirement benefits out of turn on the ground that he has to undergo a heart surgery for which he is urgently in need of money. He has produced Exts.P1(a), P1(b) and P1(c) medical certificates from the St.John's Medical College Hospital, Bangalore, to prove that he is urgently in need of surgery. In view of the above documents, I am satisfied that the petitioner has made out a case for out of turn payment of retirement benefits. Accordingly, there would be a direction to the respondents to disburse the w.p.c.13577/07 2 D.C.R.G and commuted value of pension due to the petitioner within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge.
