THIS WRIT APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: KURIAN JOSEPH, Ag.C.J. & S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN, J. ---------------------------------------------- W.A. No.472 of 2009 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 16th March, 2009. J U D G M E N T Kurian Joseph, Ag.C.J. Appellant is the petitioner in the writ petition. He approached this court aggrieved by the non-disbursement of the retirement benefits. This Court in several writ petitions has issued direction to the KSRTC to disburse the retirement benefits in deserving cases overlooking the priority. In this case, we find that the appellant had to incur huge expenses in connection with the marriage of his daughter. We also find that the appellant had met with an accident, where he suffered severe injuries causing disability to the extent of 42%. In view of the above facts and circumstances of the case, we are of the view that the appellant deserves an out of turn treatment. Therefore, we set aside the judgment of the learned Single Judge. There will be a direction to the KSRTC to disburse the retirement benefits from out of the 10% set apart for disbursement of the retirement benefits, within WA NO.472/09 2 ten days from the date of production of a copy of the judgment by the appellant/petitioner. The Writ Appeal is disposed of as above. - KURIAN JOSEPH, Acting Chief Justice.
