- 2 - THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO WRIT PETITION No.153 of 2018 ORDER :

When the matter is taken up for consideration, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government pleader would submit that the subject matter of the writ petition is covered by the decision of this Court in W.P.(Tr) 91 of 2017. 2.

Having regard to the said submission, this Writ petition is also allowed in terms of the order passed in W.P (Tr) No.91 of 2017. The respondents are directed to regulate the period of suspension from 14.12.1987 to 23.01.1990 and from 19.06.2007 to 10.11.2008 as on duty and grant all consequential benefits flowing there from including pay revision and revision of pension and shall settle the amounts payable to the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. 3.

Since there is delay in settlement of the claim and petitioner retired on 30.06.2011, I am of the considered opinion that justice and fairness requires awarding of interest at the rate of 8% per annum from the date the amounts were due on account of regulating the period of suspension as on duty. Therefore, respondents are directed to pay interest on the arrears of amount due from the date they are due, till the amount is paid. There shall be no order as to costs.

Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this writ petition shall stand closed.
