JUDGMENT
The petitioner retired from the service of the Kerala State Road
Transport Corporation. He was a last grade servant in the Trivandrum
Central Depot of the Corporation. The main prayer in the writ petition is to
disburse the DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension to the petitioner.
2. It is pointed out that the petitioner and his wife had jointly availed
a housing loan of Rs.2.35 lakhs from the Kannanmoola Branch of the State
Bank of India. He is unable to meet the payment of instalments as he has
retired from service and the Branch Manager of the said branch has issued
Ext.P2 notice demanding an amount of Rs.1,52,040.53. The petitioner is
having another liability to the tune of Rs.75,000/- which was availed as a
loan from the Kerala State Transport Workers’ co-operative Society, the
repayment of which is in default. Ext.P3 is the notice demanding payment
of an amount of Rs.35,027/-. It is also pointed out that the two sons of the
petitioner are studying for professional courses and to meet the expenses
for the same also, the disbursement of the retiral benefits is necessary.
3. The disbursement of DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension is
wpc 25851/2010 2
governed by the directions issued by this Court in W.A. No.289/2001,
wherein it is specified that it will be disbursed strictly in accordance with
the seniority unless otherwise ordered by this Court.
4. As the reason stated appears to be genuine, there will be a
direction to the respondents to make due enquiries in the matter and
disburse the DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension to the petitioner after
sanctioning the same, within a period of two months from the date of receipt
of a copy of this judgment.
The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs.
