THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.13073 OF 2000 Dated:25.11.2010 Between: Mohd. Yousufuddin Ahmed .. Petitioner And The General Manager, M/s.I.D.P.L., Balanagar, Hyderabad (Indian Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Limited) and others .. Respondents ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not releasing the interest accrued on the pensionary benefits of the petitioner. The petitioner earlier filed W.P.No.22103 of 1998, for release of his terminal benefits i.e., leave encashment, gratuity, group insurance with interest thereon, wherein it was noticed that the Indian Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Limited, Balanagar, Hyderabad, (for short ‘the Corporation’), respondent herein, has been taken over by the Central Government as the Corporation became a sick unit and therefore the pensionary benefits could not be paid to him. The said writ petition was disposed of by order, dated 06.08.1998, directing the Corporation to finalize the claim of the petitioner with regard to payment of pensionary benefits and pay the same within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of the said order. Insofar as the payment of accrued interest on pensionary benefits is concerned, the said issue was not decided and it was observed that the payment of interest would arise after payment of pensionary benefits. As the said order was not implemented by the Corporation, the petitioner filed C.C.No.216 of 1999, wherein the petitioner also raised the issue of interest to which he is entitled to. However, the Contempt Case was closed observing that pensionary benefits due to the petitioner by the Corporation were already paid and if any balance due to him are not paid, it is open for him to renew the Contempt Case. As the Corporation itself become a sick unit and it has been taken over by the Central Government and as the Central Government is not a proper and necessary party to the writ petition that the petitioner has already raised the issue with regard to his claim of interest in the Contempt Case and the same was not considered, he is not entitled to the relief sought for. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ V. ESWARAIAH, J Dated:25.11.2010 KH
