    Summary of WPA/681/2026 The High Court at Calcutta granted the petitioners' claim for interest on delayed gratuity payment. The court found that since their son, an Assistant Teacher, died on July 13, 2020, but gratuity was disbursed only on February 19, 2026 (over 5 years later), they were entitled to compensation for the delay. The court directed the Director of Pension and Treasury Officer to disburse interest at 8% per annum (instead of the claimed 18%) from the date following death until actual payment, within six weeks.
