THE MANAGING DIRECTOR, KERALA STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORPORATION, TRIVANDRUM. BY SRI. JOHNSON P. JOHN. - SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.10489 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of April, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a retired employee of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. He seeks out of turn payment of his retirement benefits for educating his son in England and also for expenses for treating his cardiac problem. I am at a loss to understand how a person, who cannot find money even for treatment of his own disease, can aspire to educate his son in England. Therefore, for that purpose I do not think that an out of turn payment of the retirement benefits can be made. However, it is a different question, as far as treatment expenses are concerned. The learned standing counsel for the Corporation submits that on enquiry, it has been found that the petitioner needs an amount of Rs.1,40,000/- for treatment. Therefore, the petitioner has become entitled to out of turn of that amount. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to disburse an amount of Rs.1,50,000/- from retirement benefits due to the petitioner expeditiously, at any W.P.(c)No.10489/08 2 rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The payment shall be made from other funds of the KSRTC and not from the 10 per cent collection set apart for paying amounts due to the pensioners who are waiting in the queue. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.10489/08 3
