HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri Mahesh Gupta for the petitioner. Shri Zakir Hussain, Addl. Govt. Counsel for the respondents. ****** This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner with the prayer that the respondents be directed to pay to her the amount of interest in terms of directions of this Court in judgement dated 31.5.2004 whereby her earlier writ petition no.6647/1999 was allowed and the respondents were directed to pay the withheld amount of 50% gratuity together with interest @ 12% per annum. Shri Mahesh Gupta, learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner being a lady, acted on the repeated assurance given by the respondents that the amount be paid, she was only paid the amount of gratuity, but interest amount has not been paid. She made number of representations and since a period of more 2 than one year had gone by, she was advised not to file the contempt petition and therefore she filed the present writ petition. Learned counsel has referred to various communications exchanged interse of Development Officer, Panchayati Raj, Rural Development Department show that respondents admit that the petitioner is entitled to receive a sum of Rs.1,08,665/- towards the interest which they are required to pay because the aforesaid judgement has attained finality, but it could not be paid for want of sanction from the government. Reference may be made to letters dated 6.10.2004, 27.10.2004, 9.11.2004 and 25.11.2004 which are all on record. Notice of the writ petition was issued to the respondents as far back on 21.9.2005, but till date no reply has been filed and the learned Additional Government Counsel would again pray for time to file reply. Having regard to the facts of the case, this writ petition is disposed of with direction to the respondents to now pay the amount of interest quantified by the 3 respondents as Rs.1,08,665/- upto 30.9.2004 together with further interest @ 6% per annum on such amount till the actual payment is made to the petitioner, within a period of three months from the date of production of copy of this order before them. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ), J. RS/
