J U D G M E N T Petitioner, a retired employee of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation, seeks out of turn payment of his DCRG for treatment expenses. The learned standing counsel on enquiry has obtained a certificate from the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Science and Technology, stating that the petitioner would have to incur hospital expenditure to the tune of Rs.1 Lakh for the bypass surgery which is due to be held on 3.7.08. In the above circumstances, I am satisfied that the petitioner had made out a case for out of turn payment of amount sufficient to pay off the hospital dues. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances, I direct the respondent to release an amount of Rs.1.5 Lakhs from the amount due as DCRG due to the petitioner. This payment shall not be from out of the 10% set apart for payment of retirement benefits due to the retired employees, but shall be paid from out of other funds of the KSRTC.
