BY ADV. SRI.K.P.RAJEEVAN RESPONDENT: -------------------- KERALA STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORPORATION, REPRESENTED BY ITS MANAGING DIRECTOR, TRANSPORT BHAVAN, FORT, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. BY SHRI JOHNSON P. JOHN, SC, KSRTC. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K. M. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 20419 OF 2008 E -------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th July, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner retired from the service of the respondent Corporation as a Conductor on 31.10.2005. He has approached this Court seeking payment of his DCRG, Commuted Value of Pension etc. with interest on the ground that his daughter will get admission to the MBBS Course. It is stated that if she is not eligible to get admission in the Government College, she has to get admission in the Management Quota and the petitioner has to pay huge amount. I heard the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent Corporation also. Petitioner belongs to Scheduled Caste. Petitioner has retired as Conductor on 31.10.2005, nearly three years ago. Having regard to the facts in this case, I feel that the petitioner can be granted the following relief: If the petitioner produces communication showing that his daughter has been offered admission to the MBBS Course, the WPC. 20419/08 E 2 respondent will conduct an enquiry immediately and if the claim of petitioner is found genuine, an amount representing the DCRG shall be released to the petitioner in accordance with law within a period of two weeks from the date of conclusion of the enquiry. This need be done only if the petitioner has no liability to be cleared from out of the DCRG. Further, if the amount required in connection with the admission of his daughter is less than the DCRG amount, only that amount which is sufficient to cover the fees need be paid to the petitioner from out of the DCG, of course, if the petitioner has no liability to be discharged from out of the DCRG. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. Sd/= K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk. // True Copy// PS to Judge
