IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10756 of 2003 TRIPTI SINGH Versus BIHAR STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD & ORS. ----------- 5. 22.9.2008. It is an admitted position in this case that all admitted dues of the petitioner have been paid to him. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is delay in payment as entries in the service book were not made on yearly basis which caused delay. Therefore, the officers of the Board, who may be responsible for the same may be punished with imposition of penal interest to be realized from their salary. Learned counsel for the Board submits that payments have been made in 2003 itself and as such there was no inordinate delay in payment to the petitioner. Since imposition of cost and interest upon responsible officer may involve enquiry on fact, this court is not inclined to take the said exercise in the instant case. Since learned counsel for the petitioner admits that all payments have been made, the writ petition has become infructuous and is disposed of. Md.S. (J.N.Singh,J.)
