THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.5851 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner was employed as a Driver in the Ibrahimpatnam Depot of A.P.S.R.T.C. He was subjected to medical examination on 08-10-2003, and on being found unfit, he was retired, on medical grounds; on 28-11-2003. His grievance is that he was denied substantial portion of the additional monetary benefit, for a period of three years, and claims interest thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. Soon after the petitioner retired from service, he was extended certain benefits, in accordance with the circulars and orders in vogue, at that time. It is no doubt true that the revised orders were issued for enhanced benefits. However, such orders were approved by the Government only on 24-06-2005. The petitioner is said to have submitted application for enhanced benefits only on 25-10-2005. A sum of Rs.2,32,014/- was paid on 07-01-2006. Therefore, it cannot be said that there was any undue delay, on the part of the respondents, in extending the benefits. Had there been any intention of delay in extending the benefits to the petitioner, this Court would certain have awarded interest. In that view of the matter, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.16-07-2008. KO
