J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a retired employee of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. He seeks out of turn payment of his retirement benefits for paying off loan amounts due from him to the Kottayam District Co-operative Bank. The learned standing counsel, on instructions, submits that the amounts stated in Ext. P3 is Rs.1,80,000/-. But, it is seen that further interest on that amount is also due. However, the genuineness of the petitioner's claim is not disputed. In the above circumstances, I am satisfied that the petitioner has made out a case for out of turn payment to satisfy the debts due from the petitioner to the Bank. The petitioner is not able to tell me the exact amount due. However, he submits that an amount of Rs. 2 lakhs may be directed to be paid. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to forward a cheque for Rs. 2 lakhs to the Kottayam District Co-operative Bank Ltd., Head Office, Kottayam from out of the amounts due as DCRG and commutted value of pension to the petitioner within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. However, this shall not be from the 10% collection set apart for paying amounts due to the pensioners who are waiting in the queue. S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
