JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI. Present: Mr. Rahul Vats, Advocate for the petitioner. None for the respondents. *** PERMOD KOHLI, J. This petition has been filed seeking the release of pension and retiral benefits alongwith interest at the rate of 12%. The petitioner has retired from service on 30.09.2007. It is stated that all the retiral benefits have not been paid. In the reply filed, respondents have given the details of the application made by the petitioner for release of pension and other retiral benefits. It appears that there has been some delay in making application for family pension, gratuity, commutation of pension and GPF but respondents are also responsible for delayed payment. It is admitted case of the petitioner that during the pendency of the petition, the pension and retiral benefits have been released. The only claim of the petitioner is with regard to the payment of interest. In view of the details given by the respondents, there seems to be some delay in making the payment. This petition is, accordingly, CWP No. 9079 of 2010 -2- disposed of with a direction to the respondent to pay the interest at the statutory rate on the delayed payments of the gratuity and GPF, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.
