Despite the earlier directions for payment of interest at the rate of 12 percent on the delayed payment pertaining to the dues payable to the deceased as a pensioner, so far the interest is not paid. In fact, no order is required as directions have already been given for payment of interest on delayed payment referable to retiral benefits. It is unfortunate that the original petitioner and after his death his widow have been deprived of payment of interest though directed earlier. In fact non compliance or non observance of the directions contained in the judicial order in general and in a case like the one on hand in particular is nothing but prima facie appearing to be a contempt of Court. However before taking such actions it would be expedient at this stage to afford one more opportunity to the respondent authorities in general and respondent no.3 in particular to comply with the earlier directions, else to face legal consequences. #. In view of the aforesaid directions and observations, the due and payable interest shall be worked out and shall be made payable without fail within a period of 8 weeks from the date of receipt of the writ of this Court, Accordingly this petition stands disposed of with costs of Rs. 5000/-. Rule made absolute.
