                   Dated this the 20th day of April, 2010.

                               J U D G M E N T

The petitioner is a former employee of the Kerala State Road

Transport Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the ‘KSRTC’ for short).

He retired from service on 31.8.2008 while he was working as Assistant

Transport Officer in the KSRTC. This writ petition is filed seeking

expeditious payment of DCRG and commuted value of pension on the

ground that the petitioner had to incur heavy expenditure in connection

with the marriage of his daughter, which was solemnised on 18.4.2010.

2. Sri. V.V.Nandagopal Nambiar, the learned standing counsel

appearing for the KSRTC, submits that if after enquiry the Corporation is

satisfied that the marriage of the petitioner’s daughter was solemnised on

18.4.2010, the Corporation will take steps to pay DCRG and commuted

value of pension to the petitioner overlooking priority.

In such circumstances, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction

to the first respondent to enquire into the genuineness of the claim made

by the petitioner for out of turn payment of DCRG and commuted value of

pension and to make such payment within one month from the date of

production of a copy of this judgment, if the claim of the petitioner is found

to be genuine.
