    Case Summary: WPA/877/2026 The High Court at Calcutta (Jalpaiguri Circuit Bench) allowed the writ petition of Basant Mani Rai, an Assistant Teacher who retired on June 30, 2024, but received her gratuity and arrear pension only on March 25, 2025—a delay of nearly nine months. The court directed the state authorities to pay interest at 8% per annum (not the requested 18%) on the delayed gratuity and arrear pension from the date following retirement until actual payment, to be disbursed within six weeks. The State did not contest the entitlement to interest and left the matter to the court's discretion. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
