SATISH KUMAR MITTAL, J. (Oral)

The petitioner, who was working as Clerk in Branch Office,

Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society, Jhallania and has retired on

29.2.2008 on attaining the age of superannuation, has filed the instant

petition for setting aside the order dated 23.2.2008, whereby the retiral

benefits of the petitioner were withheld in an illegal and arbitrary manner.

After notice of motion, written statement has not been filed.

However, counsel for the respondents states that all the retiral benefits have

been released to the petitioner on 26.3.2009. Counsel for the petitioner does

not dispute this fact. However, he submits that there was no justification for

making late payment of the retiral benefits, for which the petitioner is

entitled for interest.

C.W.P. No.3159 of 2008 -2-

After hearing the counsel for the parties, this petition is

disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to make a representation to the

respondents with regard to interest on the delayed payment of retiral

benefits. If any such representation is filed, the same will be considered by

the respondents, in accordance with law.
