IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6850 of 2000 DR.KRISHNA KANT SARAN SINHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. When the case was taken up on the last date it was stated that 90% pension and 90% gratuity of the petitioner had been released earlier but 10% pension and 10% gratuity was with-held on account of some allegations against the petitioners. Since there was admittedly no proceeding initiated against the petitioner this Court directed learned counsel for the respondents to seek instruction and file supplementary affidavit as to why interest and cost of litigation may not be awarded against them for with-holding the 10% amount of pension and 10% amount of gratuity of the petitioner without any proceeding whatsoever. Supplementary affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondent no. 3 wherein it is stated that the remaining 10% pension and 10% gratuity of the petitioner has been released and necessary advice has been sent to the 2 Accountant General in this respect. It is also being said that in terms of the Government notification no. 3155 dated 7.11.1981 the petitioner shall be paid interest also on the amount as per the terms and conditions laid down by the Government. In view of the fact that admittedly now the petitioner will be paid 5% interest on the with-held amount of pension and 10% with-held amount of gratuity till the date of its payment, no further order is required to be passed in this case and the writ application is disposed of.
