IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8940 of 2005 WASIMUDDIN HAIDER Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 03/ 04-03-2010 Mr. Raghib Ahsan, learned senior counsel representing the petitioner and Mr. Manoj Kumar Jha, assisting counsel to G.A. 1 are present. Admittedly the admissible payments of the petitioner has been made over to him during the pendency of the proceedings. Learned counsel, however, raises an issue of interest on the belated payment of pension and gratuity. Learned counsel for the State opposes the same on grounds that the petitioner himself was responsible for belated submission of pension paper and thus he was not entitled for interest. Having regard to the circumstances that the admissible amount of retiral benefits has been made over to the petitioner, no useful purpose would be served in keeping the writ petition pending and the same is disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to raise his claim together with statutory circular relating to interest before the authority concerned who shall consider and dispose of the same within a period of three months from receipt of such representation. The writ petition stands disposed of. S.Sb/- (Jyoti Saran, J.)
