PRABHAKARAN- SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.9304 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of April, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a widow of a late retired employee of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. DCRG due to the late husband of the petitioner has not been paid in view of the orders of the Division Bench, which directs payment only in accordance with the priority of date of retirement. The petitioner submits that she is threatened with recovery proceedings from the Kottarakkara Urban Co-operative Bank for re-payment of loan amounts due from her to the bank as evidenced from Ext.P2. In the above circumstances, the petitioner seeks out of turn payment of the DCRG due to her late husband for which also provision has been made by the Division Bench in the orders relating to the disbursal of retirement benefits due to the retired employees of the KSRTC. 2. The learned standing counsel appearing for the KSRTC does not dispute the genuineness of the claim of the petitioner. In the above circumstance, I am satisfied that the petitioner has W.P.(c)No.9304/08 2 made out a case for out of turn payment of the DCRG due to her late husband. Accordingly, I direct the respondent to disburse the DCRG, due to the late husband, to the petitioner 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 petitioners who are waiting in the queue. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.9304/08 3
