The present writ petition was filed in the year 2007 with a prayer to direct the respondents to pay all the retrial dues of the petitioner. In this case a supplementary affidavit has been filed on behalf of the petitioner whereby it has been indicated that during the pendency of the writ petition all the retrial dues have already been paid. However, it has been claimed that Respondent/Board even in case of delayed payment of retrial dues did not pay any interest. It was submitted that petitioner is entitled to get interest on delayed payment. Learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to ‘Annexure -5’ to the supplementary affidavit which is a calculation chart whereby it has been stated that respondents are required to make 2 payment of interest on delayed payment of retrial dues. Court is also of the opinion that on delayed payment of retrial dues petitioner was entitled to get interest. However, in view of the facts and circumstances particularly the fact that all the retrial dues have already been paid the writ petition stands disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to file a detailed representation claiming interest with calculation chart before Respondent No. 5/General Manager-cum- Chief Engineer, Mithila Electric Supply Area, Darbhanga. If such representation is filed, Respondent No. 5, is required to examine the same and pass appropriate order in accordance with law and also pass order for payment of interest on delayed payment of retrial dues within a period of four months from the date of filing of such representation. Even in case of refusal, Respondent No. 5 is required to pass a speaking order and communicate the same to the petitioner within aforesaid time. With above observation and direction the writ petition stands disposed of. Praful (Rakesh Kumar, J.)
