LPA No. 270 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. LPA No. 270 of 2010(O&M) Date of decision 15 .7.2010 The Punjab State Coop. Bank and others ... Appellants Versus Gurmukh Singh and others ... Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL Present: Ms. Jaishree Thakur ,Advocate for the appellants 1.To be referred to the Reporter or not ? 2.Whether the judgement should be reported in the Digest ? M.M.KUMAR, J. The instant appeal filed under clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against the judgement dated 9.7.2008 rendered by the learned Single Judge of this Court in CWP No. 1671 of 1993. The petitioner- respondents have retired from the service of the bank in the year 1991 and their pensionary benefits were not released till the filing of the writ petition. Accordingly, they claimed interest on the delayed payment. The learned Single Judge while allowing the writ petition has rightly observed that grant of interest on delayed payment is a matter of discretion of the Court and accordingly granted interest on delayed payment @ 8% p.a. from the date the amount fell due till its payment. After hearing the learned counsel, we are of the considered view that no interference in the judgement of the learned Single Judge is possible. The findings are unexceptionable and the appeal does not warrant LPA No. 270 of 2010 2 admission. Accordingly, the appeal fails and the same is dismissed. (M.M.Kumar) Judge (A. N.
