CWP No.7759 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CWP No.7759 of 2008 Date of decision: 9.9.2008 Sub Inspector Harpal Singh (Retd.) ..Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Vivek Singla, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ashutosh Mohunta, J. (oral) The petitioner joined the police department as a constable on 27th June, 1973. He retired as Sub Inspector on 31st August, 2007 after rendering 34 years and two months of service. The grievance of the petitioner is that he has been paid his retiral dues after an inordinate delay of seven months. He has also served a demand notice asking the respondents to pay him interest. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner and after going through the contents of the writ petition, we are of the view that the delay in the case of the petitioner is not very substantial. All the retiral dues have already been released to the petitioner. CWP No.7759 of 2008 2 In view of the above, the petitioner is not entitled to any interest on the retiral dues. No merits. Dismissed. (ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA) JUDGE (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE September 09, 2008 'rajpal'
