RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO.14766 OF 2011 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 1st day of June, 2011 JUDGMENT This Writ Petition has been filed by a retiree from the service of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (for short 'the Corporation') for an out of turn disbursement of the retiral benefits. Disbursement of retiral benefits under the Corporation is being governed by the directions issued by this Court in W.A.No.289/2001. Any deviation from the same is permissible only in exceptional circumstances. To canvass the position that such exceptional circumstances exist in this case, the petitioner has produced Ext.P2. Ext.P2 would reveal that the marriage of his daughter is proposed to be solemnised on 26.6.2011. It is in the said circumstances that the learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner is entitled to get an out of turn disbursement of retiral benefits including DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents. In view of Exts.P2, I am of the view that the genuineness of the claims and W.P.(C) NO.14766/2011 2 contentions raised by the petitioner require to be enquired by the competent authority under the Corporation. On such enquiry, if it is found that the requests and reasons stated by the petitioner are genuine, the respondents shall sanction and disburse the DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension to the petitioner within a period of six weeks. This Writ Petition is disposed of , accordingly. Sd/- (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) spc //true copy// P.A. to Judge W.P.(C) NO.14766/2011 3 C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J.
