Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? ** NIRMALJIT KAUR, J. (ORAL) This is a petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent authority to give interest on the delayed payment of retirement benefits to the petitioners. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that the respondent authorities released the pensionary benefits in the year 2011 i.e. after a delay of two years from the date of retirement. However, no interest had been paid on the delayed payment. The petitioners have sent legal notices dated 18.03.2011 and 16.06.2011 (Annexures P-1 and P-2, respectively) to the respondents claiming the interest on delayed payment. The said legal notices are still pending. In view of the above, the present petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to decide the legal notices (Annexures P-1 and P-2) as expeditiously as possible preferably within two months from the receipt of a copy of this order.
