LPA No. 1261 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH LPA No. 1261 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision 01.03.2011 Raghbir Singh ---Appellant Versus State of Punjab and others ---Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE T.P.S. MANN Present: None. 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M. KUMAR, J. 1. The instant appeal filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against judgment dated 27.04.2010 rendered by the learned Single Judge holding that the appellant has been rightly held responsible for payment of 1/4th of interest amount awarded by this Court to Smt. Harjinder Kaur. However, he has been given limited relief that the 1/4th of the whole amount cannot be recovered from the appellant and the delay caused by the respondent-State in implementing the direction of this Court would not be imputable to him. While granting the aforesaid limited relief, the respondents have been directed to re-determine the liability of the appellant towards 1/4th of interest amount payable to Smt. Harjinder Kaur @ 12% per annum. If any, excess amount has been recovered from LPA No. 1261 of 2010 (O&M) -2- the appellant, the same is directed to be refunded to him. 2. We have perused the judgment of the learned Single Judge and found that there is no error in law warranting admission of the appeal. In an earlier order, this Court has already asked the respondents to fix the responsibility for delayed family pension/ gratuity amount payable to Smt. Harjinder Kaur. The aforesaid order has attained finality. 3. Accordingly, we find no merit in the appeal and the same is dismissed. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (T.P.S. MANN) JUDGE March 1, 2011 Atul
