Gupta s/o not known to the petitioner, the Manager, Personal, Regional office BSFC building, 6th-7th floor, Frazer Road, Patna 800001 ...Opposite Parties ----------- 3 03-09-2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Nobody appears on behalf of New India Assurance Company. Learned counsel for the petitioner fairly submits that after the order passed in this proceeding on 6-10-2009, the opposite parties have paid the pension due to the petitioner but he prays for grant of interest on account of delay in complying with the order of the writ court passed on 15-12-2005. A perusal of the order of the writ court shows that although the petitioner was found entitled to the benefit of pension under the relevant scheme and the writ 2 petition was allowed yet there was no specific direction to pay the pension within any fixed period. Thereafter, as soon as this court issued directions on 6-10-2009 the opposite parties have complied and paid the pension. In that view of the matter, we are not persuaded to grant any interest. This contempt application is finally disposed of. BKS/- (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) (Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
