IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.9913 of 2005 SHYAM NARAYAN SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4 29.07.2008 It is an admitted position that all the retirement benefits have been paid to the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner insists that due to delayed payment, interest may be awarded. This Court is of the view that for awarding interest, it is necessary to fix up the liability of a particular individual or group of individuals for deliberately delaying the payment of the amount. Since nothing has been brought on record to show that particular person or particular office had delayed payment of the amount this Court is not inclined to award interest in the circumstances of the case. With the above observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. Arvind/ ( J. N. Singh, J.)
