RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- Review Petition No.840 OF 2011 IN W.P.(C) No.27398 OF 2010 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of December, 2011. O R D E R This review petition is filed on the ground that the plea of the petitioner for grant of interest for the delayed payment of retirement benefits has not been considered by this Court while disposing of the writ petition. 2. The writ petition was disposed of in the light of the averments made in the affidavit filed by the petitioner in I.A.No.17027/2011 that the Joint Director of Local Fund Audit, Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) as per its order dated 10.03.2011 has re-fixed the pensionary benefits due to the petitioner and appropriate sanction has been ordered also. A direction was sought to disburse the benefits accordingly. 3. Learned counsel for the review petitioner submitted that there is unreasonable delay in the matter and therefore, the petitioner is entitled for interest for the delayed payment. R.P.No.840/2011 2 Learned Standing Counsel for the University submitted that only after the Local Fund Audit cleared the matter, the University could release the amount. Admittedly, the Local Fund Audit refixed the pensionary benefits of the petitioner as per order dated 10.03.2011. 4. In the light of the stand taken by the University that the Local Fund Audit had to clear the matter and as the said authority is not a party to the writ petition, the question whether the petitioner is entitled for interest cannot be effectively gone into in the present writ petition. Further there is no apparent error also in the judgment. Therefore, this review petition is dismissed subject to the right of the petitioner to re-agitate the matter in appropriate proceedings/forum.
