JUDGMENT
The petitioner retired from the Health Services
Department as Civil Surgeon, on 30.4.2007. He is aggrieved
by the non-disbursal of the Pension, Death cum Retirement
Gratuity and Commuted Value of Pension due to him. He
has, therefore, approached this court for a direction to pay
those amounts along with interest.
2. It is now reported that the retirement benefits
have been paid during the pendency of the writ petition.
What remains, therefore, is the claim for interest. Learned
counsel for the petitioner submits that the claim for interest
may be first considered by the Government.
3. Accordingly, it is ordered that if the petitioner
files a representation before the Government for interest on
the alleged delayed payment of the retirement benefits
