MR.V.V.N.NAMBIAR, SC FOR KSRTC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.999 of 2010 (Y) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 29th day of January, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner retired from the services of the respondent Corporation as a Chargeman on 31/01/2009. It is stated that his terminal benefits such as DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension have not been disbursed. The petitioner submits that as his daughter's marriage was scheduled to be held on 25/01/2010, and that for solemnising the marriage he had to spend huge amount, and for that purpose, he seeks a direction requiring the respondents to release the amount due to him on a preferential basis. 2. Although the case was adjourned with a direction to the learned standing counsel for the respondent Corporation to obtain instructions in the matter, nothing has been brought to my knowledge to disbelieve the genuineness of the need pointed out by the petitioner. In view of this, there will be a direction to the respondent Corporation to disburse the DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension WP(C) No.999/2010 -2- due to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
