J U D G M E N T
In the matter of priority for disbursement of retiral
benefits to the retirees from the Kerala State Road Transport
Corporation, a scheme has been evolved pursuant to a
direction in Writ Appeal No. 289/2001. A deviation from such
a direction is possible only in exceptional circumstances. The
contention of the petitioner is that he had underwent cardiac
surgery at Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Science
and Technology. Ext.P5 would reveal that treatment expense
would come to Rs. 2,57,597/- and he had borrowed money
from a private financier and paid Rs. 2,10,000/- to the
hospital. Petitioner contends that an amount of Rs.47,597/- is
still remaining to be paid to the said hospital. That apart, he
has to discharge the aforesaid debt. It is in the said
circumstances that the petitioner claims for an out of turn
disbursement of the retiral benefits. In the said circumstances,
the respondents shall enquire into the genuineness of the
claims and contentions of the petitioner mentioned above
WPC.1232./2011
: 2 :
within a period of two weeks and if they are ultimately found
genuine, the respondents shall disburse the DCRG and other
retiral benefits payable to the petitioner, expeditiously, at any
rate, within one month thereafter.
Disposed of accordingly.
