The Writ Petition has been filed seeking to issue a writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to pay interest to the petitioners at the rate of 8 percent per annumon the belated payment of Provident Fund, Gratuity, Surrender Leave Salary, Commuted Pension, and other retirement benefits, from the respective dates of retirement till the date of actual payment i.e., on 02.12.2025.

However, the terminal benefits have been settled to the petitioners only on 02.12.2025 and no interest has been paid for the delayed period.
