MR.V.V.N.NAMBIAR, SC FOR KSRTC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.88 of 2010 (I) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 18th day of January, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner retired from the services of the respondent Corporation as a Station Master on 31/03/2009. His terminal benefits such as DCRG, commuted value of pension and staff welfare fund have not been paid and he seeks a preferential treatment in the matter of payment on the ground that the marriage of his daughter was scheduled to be held on 11/01/2010. In proof of his averment justifying the preferential treat, he has produced Ext.P2. 2. Having regard to the material produced, I am inclined to think that the petitioner is entitled to get preferential treatment in the matter of disbursement of his terminal benefits. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition directing the respondents to disburse DCRG, commuted value of pension and dues towards staff welfare. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
