His turn for getting retiral benefits as per the guidelines framed on the basis of the judgment of the Division Bench of this court in W.A. No. 289/2001 is likely to arrive within 6 to 12 months. The petitioner in this writ petition seeks out of turn release of the retiral benefits on the reason that the 5th respondent society has initiated legal proceedings against him and his wife.

The total claim under Exts.P2 and P3 is around Rs.2,32,405/-. The total amount due to the petitioner by way of DCRG as per Ext.P1 order is 2,03,115/-. 2. Under the above circumstances, applying the principles laid down in the judgment in W.A.

Payment of DCRG will be made by the respondents by means of a crossed instrument drawn in favour of the 5th Respondent Bank.
