Respondents. ----------- Advocate for the Petitioner : Mr. Ajay Kumar Thakur Advocate for the State : S.C.-18. ----------- 02 24.03.2009 The petitioner’s grievances have been met during pendency of this writ petition that is the counter affidavit. Petitioner’s grievance is with regard to inordinate delay in settlement of his retiral dues. Petitioner if already not paid would be paid with statutory interest that is payable in respect of delayed payment of retiral dues. But, as the counter affidavit states that there were some papers not submitted by the petitioner for finalizing the matter. It will not be fair to avoid interest against the State in this case with regard to upgraded pay scale. With this observation, the writ petition stands disposed of.
