    Case Summary: CWP-16668-2020 (Ram Dass v. State of Punjab) The High Court of Punjab and Haryana allowed Ram Dass's petition and ordered the State to pay 6% per annum interest on delayed retirement benefits. Dass retired on December 31, 2017, but his retiral benefits were paid in installments over several months (leave encashment in March 2018, GPF in September 2018, gratuity in July 2018), rather than promptly. The court held that since no criminal/departmental proceedings were pending, benefits should have been released within two months of retirement; the unjustified delay entitled him to interest compensation calculated from his superannuation date until payment, to be disbursed within three months. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
