NO. 361 OF 2011 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of January, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner retired from the service of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation on 31.3.2010. It is submitted that the wife of the petitioner is afflicted with the dreaded disease of cancer and the petitioner is not able to raise the requisite amount for her treatment. It is in the said circumstances that the petitioner has filed this Writ Petition mainly praying for issuance of a writ of mandamus commanding the respondent to disburse the DCRG and commuted value of pension admitted to him. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent. The order of priority in the matter of disbursement of DCRG and commuted value of pension is being governed by the guidelines framed pursuant to the decision of this Court in W.A.No.289/2001. Any deviation from the same is possible only in exceptional circumstances and that too, after satisfying the genuineness of the claim for an out of turn disbursement. In the said circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the W.P.(C) NO.361/2011 2 respondent to enquire into the genuineness of the claim made by the petitioner expeditiously. On such enquiry, if it is found that the claim of the petitioner is genuine, the respondent shall disburse the DCRG and commuted value of pension admitted to the petitioner within two weeks thereafter. The whole enquiry shall be done within a period of one month. (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) spc W.P.(C) NO.361/2011 3 C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. JUDGMENT September, 2010 W.P.(C) NO.361/2011 4
