The Accounts Officer, Bihar State Electricity Circle, Muzaffarpur .....Respondents (Respondents in writ case) ----------- 02- 29/6/2011 Heard Mr. Hari Narain Singh for the appellant. This appeal under clause 10 of the Letters Patent of the High Court of Judicature of Patna has been preferred by the petitioner of CWJC No. 11563 of 2005, and is aggrieved by the order dated 28.4.2010 passed by a learned Single Judge of this Court, whereby the writ petition has been disposed of with a direction for payment of his post-retirement benefits with interest. The appellant raises a grievance before this Court that the post-retirement benefits admissible to the appellant has been paid to him, but the learned Single Judge did not pass order for payment of interest on belated payments. 2 2. It appears to us on the basis of pattern of diverse litigations coming up before this Court in which the Bihar State Electricity Board is a party, that it is passing through a critical phase and is really limping. We are, therefore, of the view that it will not be a proper discretion to direct the Board for payment of interest. 3. The appeal is dismissed. ( S K Katriar ) ( Amaresh Kumar Lal ) mrl
