    Summary of WPA/881/2026 The High Court at Calcutta granted the writ petition of Champaka Sarkar, a retired Head Teacher, directing West Bengal authorities to pay 8% per annum interest on her delayed gratuity and arrear pension from retirement (31 October 2019) until actual payment (4 April 2020). Though the petitioner initially sought 18% interest, the court awarded 8%, to be disbursed within six weeks, holding that the State has a duty to promptly disburse pensionary benefits or compensate employees for delayed payment through interest.
