1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.131/2007 Gayad Singh Vs. General Manager, Co-operative Cattle Feed Factory & ors. Date of Order :: 12-03-2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MUNISHWAR NATH BHANDARI Mr. P.S. Rathore, for the petitioner. Mr. Anurag Sharma, for Mr. Ravi Bhansali, for the respondent. The grievance raised in this writ petition pertains to non-payment of gratuity amount. However, during pendency of the writ petition, the gratuity amount has been paid along with interest @ 6%. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the rate of interest is not appropriate, more so, when the amount of gratuity has been paid after of period of 22 years or so. It is contended that benefit of leave encashment has not been given to the petitioner. So far as payment of gratuity and interest is concerned, I am not inclined to interfere, inasmuch as it is a case where some delay was on the part of the petitioner to approach this Court. Thus, in view of the above, the rate of interest so awarded, cannot be interfered but then if the issue of leave encashment still remains to be decided, liberty is given to the petitioner to file a representation in that respect and any such representation is made, the respondents are directed to decide the same within a period of two months from the date of receipt of representation. With the aforesaid direction, the writ petition is disposed of. [MUNISHWAR NATH BHANDARI],J. Praveen
