Dattu, C.J.:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>       After the disposal of the Writ Petition, the third respondent in the Writ<\/p>\n<p>Petition\/Writ Appeal has passed an order dated 6th September, 2007. In that,<\/p>\n<p>they have settled the retirement benefits payable to the petitioner. The<\/p>\n<p>petitioner\/appellant is of the view that the respondents are expected to pay<\/p>\n<p>interest on the amount of retirement benefits, since it was paid belatedly.<\/p>\n<p>       2. In our opinion, such a request ought to have been made by the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner\/appellant       before         the      respondents             by      filing        appropriate<\/p>\n<p>application\/representation\/petition claiming interest on the retirement benefits<\/p>\n<p>paid belatedly.       If, for any reason, the request, that may be made by the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner, is either rejected or not considered by the respondents, then only<\/p>\n<p>the cause of action would arise for the petitioner to approach this Court.<\/p>\n<p>       3. In that view of the matter, we do not see any reason for interference<\/p>\n<p>with the orders passed by the learned single Judge. Therefore, the Writ<\/p>\n<p>Appeal requires to be rejected and it is rejected. However, liberty is reserved<\/p>\n<p>to the petitioner\/appellant to make such an application\/representation\/petition<\/p>\n<p>before the respondents for payment of interest on the retirement benefits paid<\/p>\n<p>belatedly.<\/p>\n<pre>\n\nW.A.
