    Summary of WPA/836/2026 The High Court at Calcutta allowed the writ petition by Sarita Kumai, an Assistant Teacher who retired on October 31, 2022, but received her gratuity and arrear pension only on August 11, 2024. The court found considerable delay in disbursement and held that the State has a duty to disburse pensionary benefits promptly, entitling employees to interest on delayed payments. The court directed the Director of Pension and Treasury Officer, Darjeeling to disburse interest at 8% per annum (rather than the claimed 18%) from the date following retirement until actual payment, within six weeks. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
