He has approached this court claiming out of turn payment of the pensionary benefits for the marriage of his daughter, which is scheduled to be held on 27.12.2007. 2. Heard counsel for the respondent also. I feel that some relaxation can be given. The writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to effect payment of the amount legally due to the petitioner by way of DCRG or Commuted Value of Pension, whichever is higher. In effecting payment, it is open to the respondent to consider whether there is any agreement executed by the petitioner in favour of any creditor. It is also open to the respondent to deduct any amount due as liability towards the Corporation. If any amounts are to be retained for meeting the liability of the petitioner under any agreement or any liability due to the Corporation, such amount need not be paid. The payment subject to the said conditions is to be made within a period of WPC.32384/2007. 2 one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. (K.M. JOSEPH, JUDGE) sb
