Sayani Sarkar v. State Of West Bengal And ORS.

27.04.2022 K.S.

W.P.A.2002 of 2022 Sayani Sarkar -Versus- The State of West Bengal & Ors.

Mr. Banshi Badan Maity .....For the Petitioner.

Affidavit-of-service filed in Court today is taken on record.

The petitioner happens to be the unmarried daughter of the deceased primary school teacher. The father of the petitioner expired on 09.06.2019.

The petitioner claims that family pension was issued in her favour on 15.06.2021. The petitioner claims interest on delayed payment of the family pension in her favour. There is nothing on record to show that the petitioner applied for family pension after the death of her father. There is no averment in the writ petition with regard to the date on which the petitioner applied for grant of family pension in her favour.

In the absence of such vital averments, prayer of the petitioner for grant of interest on account of delayed payment cannot be accepted.

There is nothing on record to show that there was any delay on the part of the respondents in releasing the family pension in favour of the petitioner herein.

In view of the above, no relief can be granted in favour of the petitioner in the present writ petition. The writ petition fails and is hereby dismissed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order be supplied to the parties, if applied for, as early as possible. (Amrita Sinha, J.)
