The case of the petitioner is that though the retiral benefits stood released yet no interest has been paid on those benefits whereas the petitioner had retired on November 30, 2007. C.O.C.P. No. 87 of 2009 -2- In para 3 of the reply submitted on behalf of respondent No.1 it stands mentioned that G.P.F. amount of Rs. 5,50,447/-, leave encashment amount of Rs. 4,19,180/-, DCRG amount of Rs. 3,50,000/- and GIS amount of Rs. 25,112/- already stand paid to the petitioner. As is clear from the order dated August 29, 2008, the respondents were required to release the retiral benefits within a period of two months from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order. Two of the aforementioned payments were made by the respondents to the petitioner earlier while the remaining two payments were made within a period of three months from 29.8.2008.. For that minor lapse, no order can be passed so as to direct the respondents to pay the interest. In view of the above, the present petition has been rendered infructuous and is, accordingly, disposed of. Rule is discharged. ( T.P.S. MANN ) April 30, 2009 JUDGE satish
