J U D G M E N T The petitioner retired from the service of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation on 31.12.2008 from Thalassery Depot while working as Chargeman. He is awaiting disbursement of DCRG and commuted value of pension, and aggrieved by the delay in the matter, this writ petition has been filed. 2. The urgency projected by the petitioner is the marriage of his daughter Neetha which is fixed to be held on 28.08.2010. Exhibit P2 is the copy of the invitation letter and Exhibit P3 is the receipt showing booking of the Kalyanamandapam. 3. The guidelines framed by this Court in Writ Appeal No.289/2001 even though provide for release of the DCRG considering the date of retirement, it was made clear that the same can be varied in genuine cases by orders of this Court. Learned Standing Counsel for the KSRTC submitted that on enquiry it is found that the reason shown is genuine and W.P.(C) No.19940/2010 2 therefore, the amount can be disbursed expeditiously. There will be a direction to the respondents to disburse the amount representing DCRG as well as commuted value pension expeditiously, at any rate, before 28.08.2010, the date of marriage of the daughter of the petitioner. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
