His terminal benefits including provident fund and<\/p>\n<p>leave surrender has not been sanctioned for the reason that a<\/p>\n<p>vigilance case is pending against him. The case is one alleging<\/p>\n<p>the issuance of a bogus patta. The Court of Enquiry<\/p>\n<p>Commissioner &amp; Special Judge convicted him and sentenced<\/p>\n<p>him. Aggrieved by the conviction and sentence, he has filed<\/p>\n<p>Criminal Appeal No.1385 of 2005 before this Hon&#8217;ble Court and<\/p>\n<p>it is still pending.\n<\/p>\n<p>       2. The petitioner is seeking for a direction to the fourth<\/p>\n<p>respondent to sanction and disburse the DCRG due to the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>relied upon a decision of this Court reported in Aravindaksha<\/p>\n<p>Panicker Vs. Accountant General 2007 (4) KLT 1031 to<\/p>\n<p>contend for the position that mainly because of the conviction,<\/p>\n<p>the DCRG need not be withheld. He is also relying upon the<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P2 judgment in W.P.(C) No. 13998 of 2006. In the above<\/p>\n<p>judgment, this Court was pleased to direct the respondents to<\/p>\n<p>wpc:33529 of 2008<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>disburse the DCRG to the petitioner on his executing a bond in<\/p>\n<p>terms of Ruling No.1 of Rule 116 of Part III of KSR. In the<\/p>\n<p>judgment W.P.(C) No.13998 of 2006 dated 25.6.2008 a similar<\/p>\n<p>direction was issued by this Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the<\/p>\n<p>fourth respondent to take steps to see that DCRG due to the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner is sanctioned and disbursed within a period of three<\/p>\n<p>months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. This<\/p>\n<p>shall be on condition that the petitioner executes a bond in<\/p>\n<p>terms of Ruling No.1 of Rule 116 of Part III of KSR. This will be<\/p>\n<p>without prejudice to the right of the Government to take<\/p>\n<p>appropriate action in accordance with Rule 3 of Part III KSR.<\/p>\n<p>      The writ petition is disposed accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>                                T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR,<br \/>\n                                           JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>bps<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court M.Gangadharan vs Tahasildhar on 12 February, 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 33529 of 2008(N) 1.
