JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 20081 OF 2008 N -------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd July, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner retired from the service of the respondent Corporation on 31.5.2006 as Blacksmith. Petitioner seeks out of turn payment of DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension in the context of the marriage of the petitioner's second daughter to be held on 19.1.2009. I heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned standing counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent Corporation. I feel that the petitioner can be granted partial relief. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of as follows: There will be a direction to the respondent to conduct an enquiry to find out whether the claim of the petitioner is genuine. The enquiry shall be concluded within three weeks from today. If the claim of the petitioner is found to be genuine, there will be a further direction to the respondent to release the entire amount due to the petitioner as DCRG in accordance with WPC. 20081/08 N 2 law, within four months from the date of conclusion of the enquiry, unless the amount has already been paid in accordance with seniority. This direction need be complied with only if there is no liability to be satisfied from out of the DCRG. Sd/= K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk. // True Copy// PS to Judge
