    Case Summary: WPA 946/2026 The High Court at Calcutta (Jalpaiguri bench) allowed the writ petition of Subir Kumar Ray, a retired Panchayat Karmee, directing the state to pay 8% per annum interest on delayed gratuity and arrear pension. The petitioner retired on 31 January 2020 but received his benefits only on 3 February 2021—over one year later—with no interest compensation. The court found the delay unjustified and held the petitioner entitled to interest from the date following retirement until actual payment, dismissing the state's non-opposition. The Director of Pension and Treasury Officer were ordered to disburse the interest within six weeks. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
