Sikri, J.  <\/p>\n<p>1.     Petitioner has filed this writ petition praying for release of retiral dues which were not released to him after his retirement w.e.f. 30th Novem-ber,  1997  (A.N.). During the pendency of this  petition  the  respondents released  all the retirement dues of the petitioner vide cheque dated  28th August,  1998  alongwith interest calculated w.e.f. 1st December,  1997  to 31st July, 1998.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.   Learned  counsel  for the petitioner states that  petitioner  has  two grievances,  namely:  (i) interest to be paid upto 28th  August,  1998  and therefore interest for a further period of 28 days of August 1998 is yet to be  paid  to  him and (ii) petitioner&#8217;s gratuity is paid on  the  basis  of services rendered with the respondent &#8211; Food Corporation of India. However, while  calculating gratuity the services period rendered by him with  Delhi Administration  w.e.f. 15th November, 1968 to 12th February, 1974  was  not included although there has been no break in service.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.   Insofar  as payment of interest is concerned, although in the  counter affidavit respondents have explained the delay which occurred in  releasing the retirement dues of the petitioner, yet the respondents have paid interest  w.e.f. 1st December, 1997 till 31st July, 1998. Since  petitioner  has been  granted interest for substantial period no further interest  need  be paid.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.   However,  there  is a substance in the second grievance  made  by  the petitioner. As per Food Corporation of India (Death cum retirement  Gratuity)  Rules, 1967 the services rendered by the petitioner in Delhi  Administration  is  to  be counted towards qualifying service  in  the  respondent Corporation  for the purpose of gratuity. It is clear from Explanation  (2) to Rule 4 which reads as under:-\n<\/p>\n<p>     Explanation 2:\n<\/p>\n<p>     Service rendered in the Govt. or any Public or Private  Undertaking by an employee before his joining service of the  Corporation      may  be declared by the Managing Director to be deemed, in  whole or in part, to be qualifying service in the Corporation  provided that  there was no break in service before joining  the  Corporation.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.   Petitioner had served in Delhi Administration from 15th November, 1968 till 12th February, 1974 and on the very next date i.e. 13th February, 1974 he joined the respondent &#8211; Corporation. Thus, there is no break in service. Infact after the petitioner had joined the services of the respondent Zonal Office of Food Corporation of India had written letter dated 6th  February, 1989,  to  the Manager, Food Corporation of India, Head Quart &#8211;  New  Delhi forwarding  an application of the petitioner for counting the service  rendered by him in Delhi Administration. This position is not disputed by  the learned counsel for the respondent who states that necessary enquiries  are being made from the office of Delhi Administration and on receipt of clarification gratuity would be paid counting this period. Such an enquiry if at all could have been made immediately after the petitioner had submitted his application  way back in the year 1989. In any case this matter  cannot  be kept  pending for this reason. It is  case of the petitioner that  while in  service  of the Delhi Administration, he had applied for job  with  respondent  &#8211; Food Corporation of India through proper channel and  therefore Food Corporation of India has the knowledge about petitioner having  served Delhi  Administration. This writ petition is accordingly disposed  of  with the  direction to the respondent to include the period of service  rendered by  the petitioner with Delhi Administration towards qualifying period  and work out the gratuity payable to the petitioner and as admissible under the Rules  and pay the difference of gratuity so worked out within  two  months from  the  date of receipt of copy of this order. If the  respondent  still wants  to make any enquiries from the office of Delhi  Administration  then this  process  be completed within the period of two months  and  necessary clarification, if needed, be obtained.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.
