THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/09/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 27612 of 2010 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 14th day of September, 2010. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a retired employee of the Government. His DCRG was withheld for 4 years on the ground that disciplinary proceedings were pending against him, which was actually pending against some other person with the same name as that of the petitioner. Realising the mistake after 4 years, DCRG has been paid to the petitioner. The petitioner has now filed this writ petition seeking interest on the said amount. 2. I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition since the petitioner had earlier approached the Lok Ayukta and suffered Ext. P8 judgment, wherein, on finding that the DCRG amount had been paid to the petitioner, the Lok Ayukta closed the complaint before it, filed by the petitioner. That order was passed as early as on 8-1-2009. The petitioner has not chosen to challenge the same. If the petitioner had a claim for interest, he should have raised the said claim in that proceedings . Having suffered Ext. P8 judgment, he cannot now file another writ petition seeking interest. Therefore, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
