LPA No. 1287 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH * * * * * LPA No. 1287 of 2011 Date of decision : 29.7.2011 * * * * * R.N Mittal ..........Appellant Versus State of Haryana and others ..........Respondents * * * * * CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH * * * * * Present: Mr. N.K Malhotra, Advocate for the appellant. * * * * * 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest? M.M KUMAR, J. 1. Despite the fact that the appellant has been granted relief by the learned Single Judge by allowing the prayer made by him, the appellant has filed the instant appeal under Clause X of the Letters Patent. The only grievance made before us is that the appellant should be awarded interest @18%, whereas learned Single Judge has awarded interest @ 9%. 2. It has come on record that issue with regard to the payment of leave encashment from the date of retirement was kept pending on account of the fact that there was some controversy which was ultimately decided by Hon'ble the Supreme Court in Civil LPA No. 1287 of 2011 2 Appeal No.4112 of 2003 on 12.11.2009. Keeping in view the facts, we are not inclined to interfere with the discretion exercised by the learned Single Judge. Appeal being without merit is hereby dismissed.
