No.149 of 2010 (P) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 18th day of January, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner retired from the services of the respondent Corporation as an Inspector on 31/05/2007. His terminal benefits such as DCRG and commuted value of pension have not been paid and he seeks a preferential treatment in the matter of payment on the ground that the marriage of his daughter is scheduled to be held on 22/01/2010. In proof of his averment justifying the preferential treat, he has produced Ext. P3. 2. Having regard to the material produced, I am inclined to think that the petitioner is entitled to get preferential treatment in the matter of disbursement of his terminal benefits. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition directing the respondents to disburse the DCRG and commuted value of pension due to him. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
