    Case Summary: WPA 874/2026 The Calcutta High Court allowed Deepa Rai's writ petition and directed the State of West Bengal to pay interest on delayed gratuity and pension benefits. The petitioner, a retired Head Teacher, retired on 31 December 2024 but received her gratuity and arrear pension only on 22 March 2025—a delay exceeding two months. The court held it is the State's duty to disburse pensionary benefits promptly, and awarded 8% per annum interest (instead of the claimed 18%) from the retirement date until actual payment, to be disbursed within six weeks.
