Administrative Officer, J.C. Road, Patna 5.The Branch Manager, State Bank of India, A.M.Y. Fatwah (06358) ……. ……Respondents ----------- 3. 7.12.2010. Heard Mr.Ashok Kumar Singh learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr.K.K.Sinha learned counsel for respondent nos.4 and 5. The petitioner, who retired as a Constable from Government of Punjab, has prayed in the present writ petition for directing the respondents to pay the arrears of dearness relief from 1.7.2006, interim relief from 1.11.2006 and medical relief from 1.11.2006 and consequential benefits up till now. The petitioner has also prayed for direction to pay compound interest at the rate of 18% on due amount as well as penal interest and litigation cost. In the present case, a counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of respondent nos.4 and 5 i.e. State Bank of India wherein it has been stated that entire grievance of the petitioner has already been redressed. Learned counsel for the petitioner does not dispute the stand taken in the counter affidavit. However, it has been submitted that for delayed payment the Bank was required to make payment of interest. 2 From the pleadings of the present case, it would be difficult to come to a definite conclusion as to for which period and what amount of interest is required to be paid. Since the main grievance of the petitioner has already been redressed, there is no need to keep this matter pending before this court. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to file a detailed representation before respondent no.4 with regard to claim of interest for delayed payment. The petitioner is granted six weeks time to file such representation before respondent no.4 i.e. The Chief Manager, State Bank of India, C.P.P.C. Administrative Officer, J.C. Road, Patna. If such representation is filed, the respondent no.4 is directed to examine the same and if he finds that the petitioner’s claim for interest is genuine, he will pass necessary order for payment of amount of interest. In case of refusal, the respondent no.4 is directed to assign a detailed reason. Such steps are required to be taken within a period of two months from the date of filing of the representation. With the above observation and direction, the writ petition is disposed of. Md.S. ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
