RADHAKRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C).No.22576 of 2009-N = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 17th day of August, 2009. JUDGMENT 1.The petitioner took voluntary retirement from the service of the respondent on 31.7.2009. On 6.8.2009, i.e., hardly six days after his retirement, he has filed this writ petition seeking a direction for out of turn payment of retiral benefits in connection with the marriage of his daughter which is pleaded to be arranged for being held on 21.1.2010. 2.On this first adjourned posting, learned counsel for the respondent does not have specific instructions. Obviously, the veracity of the arrangement for the marriage is a matter that has to be considered on proper verification by the KSRTC. A person, who has retired voluntarily, is not one to whom any out of turn payment is to be given in the normal circumstances. But, the petitioner, going by his affidavit, is now 53 years old. WP(C)22576/09 -: 2 :- Taking all relevant facts, it is ordered that if the KSRTC is satisfied of the bonafides of the plea regarding the proposed marriage of the petitioner's daughter, one half of the DCRG and CVP as may be found due to the petitioner shall be released in the second week of January, 2010. The writ petition is allowed to the aforesaid. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/090909
