D.B. SPECIAL APPEAL (WRIT) NO.782/2007 Smt. Bhanwari Bai Vs. Union of India & Ors. Date of Judgment :: April 01, 2008. HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR.NARAYAN ROY HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Mr. Amit Jindal for the appellant. *** Heard learned counsel for the appellant and perused the order impugned. The delay in filing this appeal is condoned. The writ application filed by the writ petitioner even after a lapse of twenty years was entertained and reliefs were granted to the extent of payment of family pension and also death -cum- retirement gratuity for the period of services rendered by the husband of this appellant. The appellant not being satiated with the reliefs granted by the writ court, filed this intra court appeal for interest on the amount already paid to her. We are informed that in compliance of the directions of this Court, necessary payments have already been made by the State authorities. It is undisputed that the husband of the appellant died in the year 1986 whereas the writ application was filed in the year 2005 which itself could have been dismissed on the ground of delay and laches; but still the reliefs were granted and we do not want to take another view now. But so far as question of payment of interest is concerned, in the facts and circumstances of the case, in our view, no interference would be required with the order of the learned Single Judge or to grant further relief for payment of interest on the amount already paid. For the reasons aforementioned, therefore, we find no merit in this appeal. It is accordingly dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ),J. (NARAYAN ROY),CJ. Skant/-
