    The High Court at Calcutta granted the petitioner's writ petition and directed West Bengal's pension authorities to disburse interest at 8% per annum on delayed gratuity payment to the widow of a deceased Panchayat Executive Assistant, from January 11, 2021 (date after wife's death) until actual payment, within six weeks. The court held that while the petitioner sought 18% interest, the state's duty to promptly disburse pensionary benefits entitles delayed recipients to interest compensation, though the court reduced the rate to 8%.
