3. From the arguments advanced by learned counsel

Patna High Court CWJC No.1764 of 2018(5) dt.01-06-2020 2/2 for the parties, the Court finds that the dues of the petitioner have been finally paid to her. As the husband of the petitioner superannuated in the year 1985 and then died in the year 1998, whereafter payments have been made to the petitioner, as has been admitted by learned counsel for the petitioner and prayer is limited to grant of interest, the writ petition, having been filed much belatedly in the year 2018, in the considered opinion of the Court, the issue of interest is now required to be put to quietus.

4. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed off. (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J) J. Alam/- U
