IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANTONY DOMINIC FRIDAY, THE 9TH JULY 2010 / 18TH ASHADHA 1932 WP(C).No. 20607 of 2010(A) -------------------------- PETITIONER(S): ----------------------- P.K.GOPALAKRISHNAN, "SREE HARI", VALLASSERY PARAMBU, KARAKKAD ROAD, GURUVAYOOR, THRISSUR DISTRICT. BY ADV. SRI.P.K.SURESH KUMAR RESPONDENT(S): ------------------------ GURUVAYOOR DEVASWOM, REP. BY ADMINISTRATOR, GURUVAYOOR. ADV. SRI.V.KRISHNA MENON, SC, GDB THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 20607 OF 2010 (A) ===================== Dated this the 9th day of July, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner was the Senior Superintendent under the respondent. He retired from service on 31/3/2010. According to him, an amount of Rs.2,34,384/- is due to him as DCRG. This writ petition has been filed complaining of delay in disbursing DCRG. According to the petitioner, he needs the amount released in order to discharge his liability due to the Syndicate Bank, which has initiated Securitisation proceedings for realisation of the dues from him. 2. However, counsel for the respondent on instruction submits that before settlement of liabilities, non liability certificate will have to be obtained from all sections where the petitioner had worked. It is stated that the petitioner was working in the publication section and that the stock register and report of actual stock handed over to his successor were not made up to date and that therefore they could not obtain non liability certificate from the publication section. It is stated that despite various notices issued, petitioner did not co-operate, and it was WPC No. 20607/10 :2 : therefore that delay has occurred in settling the liability. 3. If as stated by the respondent, there has been the aforesaid lapse and non co-operation from the part of the petitioner, this Court will not be justified in finding fault with the respondent on the ground that delay has occurred in settling the terminal benefits due to him. In the circumstances that is pointed out by the counsel for the respondent, I feel that the petitioner should co-operate with the respondent by making the stock register upto date and finalising the report of the actual stock handed over. On that basis, liability/non liability certificate shall be obtained and the respondent should disburse the terminal benefits that are due to the petitioner. 4. Counsel for the petitioner submits that he is willing to co-operate with the respondent to make the records upto date so that an earlier disbursal of the terminal benefits will be possible. 5. Taking into account the submissions thus made, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the petitioner shall co- operate with the respondent, make the stock register upto date and finalise the report of the actual stock handed over to his successor. Thereafter, on receipt of the liability/non liability WPC No. 20607/10 :3 : certificate from the Publication Section, the terminal benefits shall be disbursed to the petitioner. It is directed that the petitioner shall co-operate with the respondent and the above process will be completed on an expeditious basis. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
