JUDGMENT The petitioner retired from the service of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation while working as a Senior Assistant at Poovar Depot. The main prayer in the writ petition is to disburse the DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension to the petitioner. 2. It is pointed out that the petitioner, while in service, availed a loan of Rs.1,00,000/- from the Kerala State Transport Workers Co-operative Society, Thiruvananthapuram and he could not make repayment of the loan and it is in default. The society initiated arbitration proceedings against the petitioner culminating in an award for Rs.1,06,040/- and interest. Ext.P2 is the copy of the said award and as the amount could not be remitted, the society initiated execution proceedings and Ext.P2 is the copy of the Demand Notice. It is further stated in the writ petition that the petitioner had availed a loan from the Vattiyoorkkavu Service Co-operative Bank which also is in default for want of regular repayment. Ext.P4 is the copy of the Demand Notice issued by the said Bank. The petitioner, therefore, prays that a direction may be issued to the respondents to disburse the retirement wpc 25997/2010 2 benefits to enable the petitioner to meet the above financial liabilities. 3. The disbursement of DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension is governed by the directions issued by this Court in W.A. No.289/2001, wherein it is specified that it will be disbursed strictly in accordance with the seniority unless otherwise ordered by this Court. 4. As the reason stated appears to be genuine, there will be a direction to the respondents to make due enquiries in the matter and disburse the DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension to the petitioner after sanctioning the same, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
