(Oral) The petitioner retired from the post of Headmaster from Sargodha Khalsa High School, Ludhiana w.e.f. 4.5.1991 on attaining the age of superannuation. The said School receives Grant-in-Aid from the State Government. Since the petitioner's pay was fixed after his retirement from service and the payment of retiral dues was also delayed, he approached this Court in CWP No.10395 of 1995 which was allowed by a Division Bench of this Court vide order dated 16.2.1996 with a direction to the respondents “to release pension, gratuity, Provident Fund and other pensionary benefits alongwith interest at the rate of 12% per annum...” C.W.P.No .20527 of 2009 2 The petitioner has filed this petition, inter-alia, alleging that the interest @ 12% per annum has been paid to him only on the pension and not on the gratuity and other retiral dues. The official respondents have filed their reply-affidavit wherein it is categorically mentioned that “the sanction of Rs.17,592/- as interest on delayed pensionary benefits was also granted vide order No.2/16-95 Pen.(2) dated 1.7.1997.....” While the petitioner re-iterates that the above-stated interest amount has been paid only on the pension, learned counsel for the respondents states that the interest has been paid on all the dues. In these circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 to provide the statement of account/ calculation sheet to the petitioner explaining as to how the interest amount has been determined on the pension, gratuity and other service/retiral benefits. If respondent No.2 finds that full amount of interest has not been paid to the petitioner, the needful shall be done within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. March 14, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
