IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1815 of 2006 GOPAL KRISHNA MISHRA Versus THE FOOD CORPORATION OF INDIA & ORS ----------- 6 11.09.2008 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The payment of GSLI amount, claim of the petitioner has been settled, no doubt it has taken about five years for the settlement which the court found it to be unreasonable on the face of it. But a supplementary counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents where they have indicated that there is no latches or delay on their part. Something is attributable to the LIC, and even the petitioner has contributed in not accepting the payment for more than two years when the cheque was made ready for delivery to him. Keeping the totality of the facts in mind, the Court does not find any reason for directing payment of interest on the amount upon the present respondents. Since the petitioner had not impleaded Life Insurance Corporation and nothing is alleged against them, nothing much can be done in this regard at this stage in view of the fact that the payment stands made and accepted by the petitioner. If the petitioner so feels he can move any other forum or court to claim interest from LIC if he can make out a case. The writ application stands disposed of. Rajeev/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
