    Case Summary: WPA 888/2026 – Promila Barman Roy v. The State of West Bengal The High Court at Calcutta allowed the widow's petition for interest on delayed gratuity and pension payments. The petitioner's husband, a Group-D school employee, died in July 2025, with pension orders issued January 2026 but actual disbursement delayed until February 2026. The court found considerable delay in payment and ruled that the State has a duty to disburse pensionary benefits promptly. The court directed the Director of Pension and Treasury Officer to pay 8% per annum interest (rather than the requested 18%) from the date after death until actual payment, within six weeks of order communication.
