No. 7840 OF 2004 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 29th day of January, 2009 O R D E R C.N. Ramachandran Nair,J. Review Petition is filed for the reason that benefit granted in the judgment, which is arrears of salary, is without interest. However, on going through the judgment, we do not think the question of claim of interest came up for decision before this Court. We therefore dispose of the RP leaving freedom to the petitioner to make claim for interest before the Devaswom Board, and if the Devaswom Board finds that delay in payment is not attributable to the petitioner, interest should be paid . If the Devaswom Board rejects the claim, it should give reasons for the same for the petitioner to challenge the same in court, if he so desires. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge.
