1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 4428/2007. (BAJRANG LAL JEENGAR VS. SBBJ & OTHERS) DATE OF ORDER : 12.09.2008. HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. S.N. Trivedi for the petitioner. Mr. M.S. Singhvi for the respondents. This petition for writ is preferred by the petitioner claiming for payment of all post retiral terminal benefits as a consequent of his compulsory retirement on 31.07.2004. At the time of retirement, certain amount of loan advanced to the pettioner was also due. The respondents during pendency of the writ petition declared the petitioner entitled for getting arrears of pension and also the amount relating to commutation ofpension and that was adjusted with the loan advanced. It is stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that while adjusting the arrears of pension and amount of commutation, the respondents are not awarding interest, whereas they are charging interest upon the loan advanced. The fact stated above is not disputed by the respondents. 2 Once the respondents are charging interest on the loan advanced to the petitioner, they are also required to make payment of interest to the petitioner on delayed payment of terminal benefits. Looking to the facts and circumstances of the case, I consider it appropriate to set off an amount equivalent to the amount of all terminal benefits, those were required to be given to the petitioner on 31.07.2004 at the time of retirement from the amount due against the loan advanced as on 31.07.2004. The respondents by setting off the amount aforesaid shall redetermine the remaining amount of the loan advanced and also reschedule the Equal Monthly Installments, those are required to be paid by the petitioner. With the directions above, the petition for writ is disposed of. (GOVIND MATHUR)J. Anil/
