DATED THIS THE 19th DAY OF OCTOBER, 2010
J U D G M E N T
The petitioner retired from the service of the 1st respondent-
Corporation on 31.12.2008. The petitioner has got certain
liabilities to be cleared with the 2nd and 3rd respondents. The 2nd
respondent has filed ARC No.1389/2010 before the Assistant
Registrar(General) and a copy of which has been produced as
Exhibit P2. The 3rd respondent has issued Exhibit P3 notice for
recovering certain amounts. The learned counsel for the
petitioner submitted that the delay in disbursal of the DCRG,
commuted value of pension, etc. will therefore adversely affect
the petitioner.
2. This Court in Writ Appeal No.289/2001 has issued
various directions to the Corporation with regard to the disbursal
of retirement benefits. It is specified as item No.5 therein that
retirement benefits should be disbursed strictly on the basis of
the date of retirement, unless otherwise ordered by this Court.
3. The learned Standing Counsel for the Corporation
submitted that due enquiry will be conducted in the matter. The
W.P.(C)No.31875/10 -2-
learned counsel for the 2nd respondent prayed that the
Corporation may be directed to adjust an amount of
Rs.1,66,382/- which is the amount claimed in the plaint Exhibit
P2, before disbursing the amount towards retirement benefits.
4. There will be a direction to the Corporation to conduct
due enquiries and disburse the eligible benefits to the petitioner
after recovering and paying the amounts claimed by respondents
2 and 3, within a period of two months.
The Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE.
