IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.17407 of 2009 Date of Decision: November 13, 2009 Dr. V.K. Mujral .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab & Others .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. P.S. Khurana, Advocate, for the petitioner. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) The relief claimed is only in regard to interest allegedly payable on delayed payment of retiral benefits. It is not in dispute that the retiral benefits have been released. Learned counsel for the petitioner has not been able to show that the interest claimed is statutory in nature and payable under the Rules. I find that, in facts and circumstances of the case, there is no ground to interfere in extraordinary writ jurisdiction. The petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner would be at liberty to seek alternate remedy in accordance with law. (AJAI LAMBA) November 13, 2009 JUDGE avin
