Bal Kishore Mody vs Arun Kumar Singh And Ors.

The Supreme Court addressed the delay in payment of retiral benefits to the appellant, who retired on December 31, 1995, and submitted pension papers on January 15, 1996. The Court held that the respondents must pay interest on the retiral benefits at the rate of 15% per annum from January 15, 1996, until the date of payment, due to the breach of the High Court's order. The appeal was disposed of with directions for payment of costs amounting to Rs. 5000, modifying the High Court's judgment accordingly.
