Case Summary The Calcutta High Court allowed Laxmi Narayan Pandey's writ petition against the West Bengal Transport Corporation for delayed release of Provident Fund dues. The court held that retired employees have a statutory right to receive retiral dues on the superannuation date, and delayed payment entitles them to interest. The court directed the Corporation to pay 6% simple interest per annum on the Provident Fund dues (released after a 13-month delay from January 31, 2024 to February 11, 2025) within four months, with an additional 2% penalty interest (8% total) for non-compliance. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
