PRABHAKARAN - SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No. 4941 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of February, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a retired employee of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. He retired on 31.5.2005. Although for getting DCRG and Commuted value of pension he has to stand in the queue in accordance with the priority of date of retirement, the petitioner seeks out of turn payment on account of the fact that his property is under threat of attachment for recovery of housing loan amounts due from him to the Kerala State Housing Board. He has also produced Ext.P4 notice received by him from the Kerala State Housing Board threatening attachment of properties for non-payment of the amounts due. 2. I have heard the standing counsel for KSRTC also. The respondent has no case that the petitioner's claim is not genuine. In the above circumstances I am satisfied that the petitioner has made out a case for out of turn payment of DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension to the extent of his loan liability to the Kerala W.P.(c) No.4941/08 2 State Housing board. Accordingly, I direct the respondent to issue a cheque for Rs.2,47,755/- towards repayment of housing loan amount due from the petitioner to the Kerala State Housing Board within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The said amount shall be debited to the DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension account of the petitioner. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c) No.4941/08 3
