His grievance is regarding the non-disbursement of his terminal benefits. In this writ petition, he states that in view of the marriage of his daughter scheduled to take place on 25/06/2009, the respondent should be directed to release the terminal benefits on an expeditious basis. Ext.P3 is the wedding invitation card and according to the learned standing counsel for the respondent also, enquiry revealed that the statement about the marriage of the petitioner's daughter is factually correct. If that be the position, there is no reason in delaying disbursement of the benefits which are legally due. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to release within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, the DCRG that is due to the petitioner and also the commuted value of pension payable to him. 2. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the respondent for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
