Issues: Whether interest was payable on the delayed release of pension and gratuity, and if so at what rate.
Analysis: Pension and gratuity are not a bounty but valuable post-retiral rights. Where settlement and disbursement of such dues are culpably delayed, compensation by way of interest is warranted from the date the amount became due until actual payment. The withholding of retiral dues in the present case was unjustified, and the denial of interest in the earlier orders called for correction.
Conclusion: Interest on the delayed payment of pension and gratuity was payable, and the appellant succeeded on this issue.
