Non disbursement of DCRG and dues under the family benefit scheme is what is complained of. 2. Learned Government Pleader has obtained instruction in the matter and submits that there are two ORS pending against the petitioner. It is stated that in relation to O.R.No.27/2001 report has been submitted exonerating the petitioner. It is also stated that in respect of O.R.No.28/2010, liability fixed is only of Rs.1400/-. According to the Government Pleader this liability has been fixed by order dated 2.12.2008. 3. It that be so, there is no reason why the entire amount due to the petitioner shall be withheld. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to disburse the amounts due to the petitioner towards his DCRG and dues under the family benefits scheme, after deducting Rs.1400/- being the liability fixed. This shall be done as WPC.No.5632 /2010 :2 : expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 3 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
