CWP 2106/06 //1// In the High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan Jaipur Bench ** Civil Writ Petition No.2106/2006 Banwarilal Versus State & (4) Ors. Date of Order ::: 19/11//08 Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Rastogi Mr. Sunil K.Singodia, for petitioner Mr. JK Agrawal, Addl. Govt. Advocate, for respondent State Petitioner retired from service holding post of Asstt. Jailor after seeking voluntary retirement w.e.f. 01/08/05 U/r 50 of Rajasthan Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1996 (“Rules, 1996”) as is evident from order dt.15/07/05 (Ann.1). But his retiral dues were not paid to him and after legal notice served, he was forced to file instant petition. Notices were issued on 20/03/06. Respondents have filed reply to the petition and in Para 4 it has been inter-alia averred that retiral dues were paid to him vide demand draft dt.29/09/06 and the delay had caused because GPF pass book & service record maintained in respective offices of his posting place took time for finalisation of his pension papers. Only grievance confined herein is that for the delay in finalization of retiral benefits, petitioner is entitled for interest U/r 89 of RSR. Having pondered over material on record and CWP 2106/06 //2// particularly justification offered in the reply, it goes without saying that once respondents failed to make payment within two months from the date of retirement of petitioner, that will carry interest in terms of R.89 of RSR. Justification offered is only relating to correspondence made between their own department, that will not dis- entitle the petitioner from claiming interest which he is entitled for under law. Consequently the writ petition succeeds and is hereby allowed. Respondents are directed to make payment of interest @ 9% p.a., from the date of voluntary retirement (01/08/05) till actual payment of retiral dues. The respondents may ensure compliance of this order within two months. No order as to costs. (Ajay Rastogi), J. K.Khatri/p.2/2106CW06-1911.doc
