BY SC SRI.V.V.N.NAMBIAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/01/2010, ALONG WITH W.P.(C).1058/10 AND CONNECTED CASES, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J ------------------- W.P.(C)s.1091, 1058, 1247 & 1101 of 2010 -------------------- Dated this the 28th day of January, 2010 JUDGMENT 1. Petitioners in these writ petitions are retired employees of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. 2. Their terminal benefits such as Commuted Value of Pension and DRCG, are yet to be paid. In these writ petitions, they submit that in order to meet the expenses of the marriages of their deponents which are already held and which are to be held soon, they need funds to be disbursed by the KSRTC towards their terminal benefits. Petitioners have also produced documents in support of their claim made. Despite adjourning the case for the respondent to obtain instructions, their is absolutely nothing contrary on record to infer that the claims made are not genuine. In such circumstances, I see no reason to decline the relief sought for by the petitioners. 3. Accordingly, I dispose of these writ petitions directing the respondents herein to disburse the amounts due to the petitioners W.P.(C).1091/10 & Connected Cases 2 towards Commuted Value of Pension and DCRG, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment.
