P.C. : P.C. : P.C. : At the outset, the Counsel for the petitioner handed in the payment order dated 20th November, 2002. The same is marked "X" for identification purposes. 2. The Counsel for the petitioner candidly conceded that upon issuance of the said payment order dated 20th November, 2002, the grievance of the petitioner with regard to non-payment of pension/gratuity has been redressed. He, however, submits that for the delayed payment of pension/gratuity the petitioner is entitled to interest. 3. Having considered the matter fully and the fact that way back on 20th November, 2002 the payment order was issued and there was some delay on the part of the -: 2 :- petitioner in sending complete pension papers, we are satisfied that no order of interest deserves to be passed. 4. Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. Sd/- (R. M. LODHA, J.) (R. M. LODHA, J.) (R. M. LODHA, J.) Sd/- (NARESH H. PATIL, J.) (NARESH H. PATIL, J.) (NARESH H. PATIL, J.)
