JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI Present: Mr.RK Arora, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.BS Chahal, DAG, Punjab. -- PERMOD KOHLI, J. (Oral): I have heard the learned counsel for the parties at length. The petitioner retired from service on 31.01.2007 on attaining the age of superannuation. On account of non-payment of retiral benefits and the reimbursement of medical claim, the petitioner has filed the present writ petition. It is, however, agreed by the learned counsel for the petitioner that during the pendency of this petition, medical reimbursement as also retiral benefits have been paid, though belatedly. The only claim, thus, survives is the interest on the delayed payment of the retiral benefits. In view of the above, present petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to pay statutory interest where payable and at the rate of 6 per cent per annum on the other delayed payments of retiral benefits and other claims mentioned above, from the date it became due till realisation, within a period of two months from the date a certified copy of this order is made available to the competent authority. No costs. 29.04.2009 (PERMOD KOHLI) BLS JUDGE Note: Whether to be referred to the Reporter? NO
