ORDER

This writ petition has been filed seeking issuance of a writ of mandamus directing the respondent to disburse the belated payment of interest amount of

CPS amount (Contributory Pension Scheme) Gratuity and Earned leave salary amounts and other unsettle benefits of 10 days last month salary with effect from 01.05.2024 within the stipulated time as may be fixed by this Hon'ble Court.

2. The case of the petitioner is that he joined the respondent Corporation as a Conductor on 01.09.2005 and retired from service as Selection Grade Senior Conductor on 30.04.2024. His terminal benefits were settled belatedly on 04.09.2025 and unsettled benefit of 10 days last month salary has not been settled to the petitioner till date. In this regard, the petitioner made a representation dated 02.01.2026. However, the same has not been considered by the respondent till date. Hence, the petitioner is before this Court.

3. The learned Standing Counsel for the respondent would fairly submit that the respondent is willing to pay the interest at the rate of 6% per annum for the belated payment of the eligible and admissible amount.

4. Heard the learned Counsel on either side and perused the materials available on records.

5.

In view of the above submission of the learned Standing Counsel, i) the respondent is directed to pay interest at the rate of 6% per annum for the belated payment of admissible terminal benefits from the date of retirement till the date of actual disbursal of the terminal benefits of the petitioner;

ii) the respondent is also directed to pay the eligible unsettled benefit of 10 days last month salary to the petitioner, as claimed for, along with admissible interest, if any, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

6. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
