    The High Court at Calcutta granted the writ petition and directed the State to disburse interest on delayed gratuity and arrear pension payments. The petitioner, an Assistant Teacher, retired on 30 April 2024 but received his pension payment only on 27 December 2024—a delay of over seven months. The court awarded interest at 8% per annum (rather than the requested 18%) from the date following retirement until actual payment, to be disbursed within six weeks.
