The case of the petitioner is that he is a retired employee of the Respondent/Corporation. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent settled the retirement benefits on 18.09.2019 whereas the petitioner retired on 30.06.2018. Hence, the petitioner made a representation to the respondent on 18.02.2025 to pay interest for the belated payment. However, no action has been taken by the respondent till date. Hence this petition. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that it would be suffice if this Court issues a direction to the respondent to consider the petitioner’s representation and pass orders. 4. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent submitted that the representation of the petitioner will be considered and will pay the eligible amount with 6% interest per annum as per the earlier orders of this Court.
