For the Accountant General (A & E) : Mr. Ranjan Kumar. ------- 02. 09.01.2009 Petitioner has lodged a detailed claim demanding interest on various amounts which are retiral dues as would be evident from paragraph 12 of the writ application. The claims are under the interest heads based on observation of the High Court which was passed in the contempt application which is evident from annexure-4 to the writ application. The order dated 10.2.2005 passed in a contempt only states that the petitioner would be entitled to statutory interest on dues of pension, gratuity and leave encashment . No where it states that petitioner would be entitled to interest on each and every head and would be calculated in the manner he wants to be calculated. The court has perused the counter affidavit and details of payment which have already been made to the petitioner. The court is of the opinion - 2 - that it is not a bonafide writ application but is more a kind of wagering rather than a serious litigation for assertion of right. The writ application is dismissed. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
