    Case Summary: CWP-18907/2022 (Avtar Singh Kahlon v. State of Punjab) The High Court of Punjab and Haryana allowed the petition and directed the State of Punjab to pay 6% per annum interest on delayed gratuity payment. The petitioner retired on 30.09.2020 but received his gratuity only on 01.06.2022 (approximately 21 months later). The court found the State failed to justify the delay and held that retiral benefits must be released within two months of retirement; since no departmental proceedings were pending, the delay was unjustifiable. Interest is awarded from the date of superannuation onwards (excluding the first 30 days as a grace period) until actual payment, payable within three months. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
