That payment has been made to the petitioner by passing an order with regard to the payment of provisional pension only. However, the order finalising the case of pension has not been passed. Mr.Hasurkar submits that while the payment of provisional pension shall be made month to month, the settlement of the pension case as a whole would take about three months' time. The respondents are, therefore, directed to finalise and settle the pension case of the petitioner at the earliest possible opportunity from today, but in no case, later than 31st March 1999. The payment of the due arrears of pension and all other retiral benefits, if any, to which the petitioner is found entitled on account of the services rendered by her husband, the same shall be paid to her on or before 15th April 1999. In case the payment is not made as directed above before 15th April 1999, it would enure an interest in favour of the petitioner on the due amount right from the due date till the payment is made at the rate of 18% per annum. This Special Civil Application is allowed in terms as aforesaid and the Rule is made absolute accordingly. ****** sreeram.
