KURIAKOSE, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.11274 OF 2007 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 2nd day of April, 2007 JUDGMENT It is obvious that the total amount which due to the petitioner who had only 16 years of service, on account of DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension is only around Rs.one lakh. Considering Ext.P2 series and applying the principles laid down by a Division Bench of this Court in WA No.1775 of 2004, I am of the view that there is justification for making out of turn payment of the retiral benefits of the petitioner so that he can meet the amounts necessary for the treatment of his daughter. The Writ Petition will stand allowed. The respondents are directed to release all the amounts due to the petitioner on account of DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension at the earliest and at any rate within six weeks of receiving copy of this judgment.
