The matter relates to non-payment of arrear pension. The petitioner has relied upon a judgement delivered by this court in WPA 7691 of 2022 (Narayan Chandra Roy Vs. the State of W. B. & Ors.) on 29.11.2022 that the arrear pension should be given following the date of retirement which I accept. Therefore, I direct the concerned District Inspector of Schools (P. E.) and the Director of Pension, Provident Fund and Group Insurance to take immediate steps so that the petitioner can get the arrear pension. However, the petitioner has submitted that she is not willing to pray for any interest thereon and no interest is required to be paid to the petitioner. The arrear pension is to be given to the petitioner by three months from date of communication of this order.

The writ application is disposed of.

Affidavit of service filed in court today be kept on record.
