Dashraj Jivandas Arora -: versus :- The State of Maharashtra and others. Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI F.M. REIS, JJ. DATED : APRIL 16, 2010. This Court has after hearing the respective counsel on 19.03.2010 issued notice to find out whether the grievance of petitioner/applicant can be redressed. Today, Shri Khajanchi, learned counsel for respondent no.4 states that as per his instructions prayers in the application are satisfied. Shri Mirza, learned counsel for applicant however, points out that interest has not been awarded on the amount of arrears of salary. Attention is invited to our orders dated 05.08.2009 in Writ Petition No. 2453/2007 to point out that interest at 10% has been allowed on other amounts, but inadvertently interest has not been granted on arrears. Shri Khajanchi, learned counsel points out that in Writ Petition even arrears has not been granted and Municipal Council has pointed out its financial condition and 2 its bonafides by pointing out the efforts made by it to clear the amounts in installment. After hearing learned counsel, we find that in Writ Petition necessary reliefs have been claimed. In the circumstances, the Municipal Council has already paid arrears of salary and question is about payment of interest only. As we have already granted interest @ 10% from 20.02.2006 to 31.03.2010, we award interest at same rate for same period on amount of salary. Respondent no.4 Municipal Council shall pay the amount of interest by 31.01.2011 to the petitioner / applicant. In view of this, as we find that there are no malafides, the delay in filing Civil Application No. 813/2010 is condoned. Both the applications are accordingly allowed, with no order as to costs.
