    The High Court at Calcutta allowed Pranesh Sarkar's writ petition seeking interest on delayed gratuity and arrear pension payments following his wife's death in 2014. Though the petitioner sought 18% per annum, the court directed the State to disburse interest at 8% per annum from the date following the employee's death until actual payment (January 2020), within eight weeks, holding that delay in claiming relief cannot defeat valuable rights if third-party interests are unaffected.
