CWP (T) No. 14625 of 2008 11.11.2009 Present: Mr. Keshav Thakur, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Sr. Addl. Advocate General with Mr. P.K. Sharma, Addl. Advocate General for the respondents. The petitioner was posted as Divisional Commandant (South Zone). He drew LTC advance amounting to Rs. 24,000/- by submitting dependence certificate of his mother. It has come in the reply that his mother was not dependant upon him. Thereafter he submitted bill for Rs.31,000/- and after adjusting the amount of advance withdrew an amount of Rs.7,000/- on the strength of enhanced claim of LTC bill. This irregularity was pointed out by the Audit and Inspection party. The petitioner was called upon to deposit this amount. He made a representation against the same. It was rejected by the competent Authority on 5th April, 2007. Thereafter the petitioner has deposited a sum of Rs.6200/- but without interest. We are of the considered view that since the petitioner has withdrawn a sum of Rs.6200/- illegally he was bound to pay interest @ 10% per annum. The action of the respondent asking the petitioner to pay interest on a sum of Rs.6200/- is in consonance of the Rules. Accordingly, there is no merit in the Writ Petition. The same is dismissed. ( R.B. Misra ), Acting Chief Justice. November 11, 2009. ( Rajiv Sharma), (rks) Judge.
