He refers to the fact that the marriage of his daughter is proposed to be solemnised on 4.11.2007 and hence seeks a direction to the respondent to pay at least a portion of the retirement benefits without delay. After having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to pay either the DCRG or commuted value of pension to the Petitioner, within a period of one month from today. In so far as the remaining retirement benefits are concerned, the same shall be paid as per the priority laid down by this Court in the judgment in W.A. No.289/2001.
