Case brief
What is this about?
Telangana High Court (single judge, 10.02.2025) writ petition on delayed payment of retirement benefits to a retired government school assistant; keywords: non-release of pensionary/retirement dues; gratuity (TS and CS); commutation (TS and CS); final encashment of leaves/HPL; General Provident Fund final payment; token numbers; dearth of funds; seriatim of token numbers; treasury officers Nirmal; Director of Treasuries and Accounts; writ of mandamus; Article 226; Section 151 CPC interim application; disposal at admission stage with consent; eight-week compliance direction; no costs; interest @ 24% claimed but not awarded; W.P. No.3704 of 2025; A. Narsaiah v. State of Telangana.
What did the court decide?
Direction to respondents to release and pay the six enumerated retirement benefit amounts as expeditiously as possible, preferably within eight weeks from receipt of a copy of the order; no order as to costs. The petitioner's claim for interest @ 24% per annum from the date of retirement was not addressed in the operative direction and therefore stands ungranted. Petition was disposed at the admission stage with the consent of both parties.
