(Oral) The petitioner has retired from the post of Manager (General) from the respondent-Corporation w.e.f. 31.8.2010 on attaining the age of superannuation. He seeks a mandamus to direct the Food Corporation of India and its authorities to fix his pay on the IDA pattern and thereafter release the arrears of revised pay w.e.f. 1.1.2007 as also the retiral dues. During the course of hearing, it is pointed out by learned counsel for the petitioner that the respondents have though already fixed the petitioner's pay on the IDA pattern, however, the consequential arrears of pay and retiral dues as per the revised pay scale have not been released so far. C.W.P.No .19860 of 2010 2 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and keeping in view the afore-stated stand taken on his behalf, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to release the arrears of pay and other retiral benefits to which the petitioner is found entitled to under the rules, within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order, failing which the petitioner shall be entitled to claim interest @ 7% per annum from the due date till its realization.
