ORAL JUDGEMENT
The Petitioner has retired since long.The grievance in the petition was to the effect that, he was not allowed to cross the Efficiency Bar, which had resulted in to a great financial loss.
When this matter filed in the year 1986 comes up before me for the final hearing, it is not in dispute that, at a later juncture the petitioner has been allowed to cross the Efficiency Bar on two occasions with effect from the date on which he was entitled to cross the Efficiency Bar. Therefore, now, it appears that the main grievance of the petitioner stands redressed.
Any how, Ld. counsel Mr. Thakkar for the petitioner urges that because of the conduct and attitude of the respondents the petitioner was prevented from crossing the Efficiency Bar, and that, it delayed his entitlement to the higher scale and though, now he has been permitted to cross the Efficiency Bar from the relevant dates and the amounts have been paid, he has been permitted to cross the Efficiency Bar from the relevant dates and the amounts have been paid, he has suffered heavy loss on the count of interest.
Ld. counsel for the petitioner places reliance upon certain case law with a view to buttress his contention. Any how it cannot be disputed that the petitioner shall be entitled to the interest because of the above said position. Especially when the petitioner had to suffer the loss not for any reason or consequences created by him, he would be entitled to the interest on the delayed payment.
The petition therefore requires to be allowed on this narrow aspect alone. I order accordingly. Petition stands allowed to the above said aspect of the matter.
this narrow aspect alone. I order accordingly. Petition The respondents or the concerned respondent shall calculate the interest amount which becomes payable to the petitioner at the rate of 12 % per annum, and shall make the payment as early as possible and at any rate within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of the writ of the present orders.
The above said calculation of the interest amount have to be made for the period from November 1st, 1978 to October 30th, 1986. The delayed payment, accordingly to the petitioner's counsel is in sum of Rs.13,351-00. The respondents shall verify this figure and shall calculate the interest as per the above said directions. Rule is made absolute accordingly. No order as to cost.
