SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.9099 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of April, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a retired employee of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation who retired on 30.4.2007. He seeks out of turn payment of his retirement benefits to pay off the loan amounts due from him to the State Bank of Tranvancore, Region- II, Zonal Office, Santhinagar, Thiruvananthapuram for realisation of which the bank has initiated proceedings under the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002. 2. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the KSRTC submits that the amount due to the petitioner is less than the amount due from him to the State Bank of Travancore. In the above circumstances, I am satisfied that the petitioner has made out a case for out of turn payment of the amounts due to him as DCRG. 3. Accordingly, I direct the respondent to forward a cheque for the amount due to him as retirement benefits to the W.P.(c)No.9099/08 2 Manager, State Bank of Travancore, Region-II, Zonal office, Santhinagar, Thiruvananthapuram within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The payment shall be made from other funds of the KSRTC and not from the 10 per cent collection set apart for paying amounts due to the pensioners who are waiting in the queue. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.9099/08 3
