Considering the principles laid down by the Division Bench of this court in W.A.No.1775/04 and the facts disclosed by Exts.P2 and P3, I am of the view that there is justification for releasing at least a portion of the retiral benefits due to the petitioner so that he can conduct the marriage of his daughter which is already arranged to be held on 20.5.2007. Under these circumstances, the Writ Petition will stand disposed of issuing the following directions: The respondents will pay to the petitioner the amounts due to him by way of his D.C.R.G. or the amount by way of Commuted Value of Pension (whichever is the larger of the two) at the earliest and at any rate before 10th May, 2007. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
