JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 23007 OF 2007 L -------------------------------------- Dated this the 27th July, 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioner retired as a Driver on 31.10.2005. He has approached this Court seeking a direction to sanction and disburse the DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension due to him for meeting the expenses of the marriage of his daughter fixed to be solemnised on 30.8.2007. Heard the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent Corporation also. Petitioner retired as a Driver in the year 2005. Exts.P2, P3 & P4 are the Wedding Card, Vivaha Nischaya Certificate issued by the NSS Karayogam and the receipt given by the Sivasakthi Auditorium, Mararikulam. These documents are produced to probabilise the case of the petitioner regarding the marriage of his daughter. Having heard the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent Corporation also, I feel that the petitioner has made out a case for partial deviation from the principle of seniority. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed WP(C) NO.23007/07 L 2 of directing the first respondent to disburse the entire amount due to the petitioner as DCRG or Commuted Value of Pension whichever is higher, on or before 24.8.2007.
