MANJIT SINGH Vs. STATE OF HARYANA AND ANOTHER

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The instant appeal filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against judgment dated 07.09.2010 rendered by the learned Single Judge holding that the appellant is not entitled to the payment of any interest on account of delay in payment of his dues. The appellant had claimed that the payment was due to him w.e.f. 11.12.1981. However, on the ground that the seniority dispute of the appellant was pending, the learned Single Judge has declined to grant the benefit of interest.

(2.) Few facts may be necessary to be noticed. The appellant was appointed as Sub Inspector, Cooperative Societies Punjab in 1961. He filed CWP No. 8878 of 1988.

(3.) The department in its written statement had taken the stand that in the earlier order dated 18.08.2005, interest was not granted to the writ petitioner-appellant and therefore it would amount to rejection of prayer for interest.
