Respondents 1 and 2 were directed to disburse the amounts due with interest at the rate of 9% from 1st April, 2006, till the date of disbursement. 2. When the case came up for consideration on 10th July, 2008, it was submitted on behalf of the petitioner that an amount of Rs.2,50,357/- had already been received. The learned Government Pleader submitted that an amount of Rs.68,718/- had already been ordered to be paid to the petitioner towards interest on delayed payment of DCRG. But it was contended by the petitioner that the Department had not reckoned the interest for delayed payment on the sum of Rs.2,50,357/-, which was the amount due towards terminal leave surrender. 3. When the case came up today, the learned Government Pleader submits that steps have already been initiated to pay a CCC No. 980/08 -:2:- further sum of Rs.37,556/- towards interest on delayed payment. The communication received by the learned Government Pleader from the Under Secretary, Health & Family Welfare (A) Department, Thiruvananthapuram, dated 31.07.08 bearing No.27469/A3/08/ H&FWD has been made available for perusal. In the said communication the Under Secretary has stated that “urgent and time bound action is being taken by this respondent in consultation with Finance Department in Government for releasing the above amount and whole exercise is expected to be completed at the earliest”. The Under Secretary has requested to grant two weeks' time to do the needful. In the above facts and circumstances, the Contempt Case is closed for the time being, recording the above submission.
