R.S.A. No. 45 of 2009 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH R.S.A. No. 45 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision : 09.01.2009 State of Haryana and others ....Appellants Versus Dr.(Mrs.) Rekha Garg ...Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr. O.P.Sharma, Addl.Advocate General, Haryana for the appellants. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. Delay condoned. The only question raised in the present appeal is whether the plaintiff/respondent, who retired from Government service was entitled to interest on retiral benefits (GPF) from 1987-88 to 1999- 2000 at the rate of 12% per annum, since the payment was delayed. Both the courts came to the conclusion that the plaintiff/respondent was entitled to interest @ 12% per annum. There is material on record to show that this rate of interest was to be paid from 1987-88 to 1999-2000 which was also in conformity with the decree rendered by the learned trial Court. In this view of the matter, when no substantial question of law arises in the present appeal, the same deserves to be dismissed R.S.A. No. 45 of 2009 (O&M) -2- since it lacks merit. Dismissed. 9.1.2009 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
