By consent of both parties, this writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission itself.
2.The petitioner has filed this writ petition to issue a Writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to pay unpaid 10/11 days salary of last retirement month with 10% interest to the petitioners and pass orders. 3.The facts of the case is that the petitioners are retired employees 2/6
of the Respondent/Corporation. The grievance of the petitioners are that the Respondents has not paid 10/11 days salary of last retirement month. Hence, the petitioners gave a representation to the respondents on September, 2024 to pay 10/11 days salary of last retirement month along with interest for the delay in payment. However, no action has been taken by the respondents till date. Hence this petition. 4.The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that it would be suffice if this Court issues a direction to the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation and pass orders.
5. The learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents submitted that the representation of the petitioners will be considered and will pay the eligible amount with 6% interest P.A as per the earlier orders of this Court.
6.Considering the facts of the case and the submissions made by either side counsel, this Court directs the Respondents to pay the 3/6
eligible amount as payable to the petitioners along with interest at the rate of 6% per annum for the delay period in settling the said amount. This payment shall be made within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is made clear that if the amount is not paid within the time frame fixed by this Court, it will fetch an interest at the rate of 12% per annum from the date on which the amount became due and payable till the date of actual realisation. 7.With the above directions, this Writ Petition stands disposed of. No order as to costs.
