Having heard the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and after perusing the record with their able assistance, it transpires that the petitioner has served respondent No.3 and has sought voluntarily retirement w.e.f 31.07.2022 and his request was accepted and a formal order of retirment was issued on 21.12.2022, whereas his retiral dues were released in terms of the order passed by Managing Director of respondent No.3 on 23.06.2025. As such, on account of the delay in releasing the retiral benefits, the petitioner is entitled to interest in terms of the judgment
8 rendered by a Full Bench of this Court in A.S. Randhawa Supg. Engineer (Retd.) vs. State of Punjab 1998 (1) SCT 343, wherein it was opined that disbursement of pension and other benefits payable at retirement must be done in a timely manner. Any delay over a period of two months qua the said disbursement would entitle the retired employee to claim interest on the amount due.
5. In view of the above, the present petition is disposed of and respondent No.3 is directed to calculate the interest @ 6% on the delayed payment of retiral dues from after two months of the date of petitioner's retirement till its actual realization in lieu of all admissible retiral dues and paid to the petitioner within 03 months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.
6.
Pending miscellaneous application(s), if any, also stands disposed of.
