However, today itself learned counsel appearing for respondents no.2 and 3 informs that subsequent to the order dated 15.07.2025 being passed the respondents have reconsidered the matter and have passed an order dated 19.08.2025 which has also been made available to the learned counsel for the petitioner today per which it has been decided to pay gratuity to the petitioner. 6. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that now the only question which remains is the payment of interest from the date the petitioner retired till the actual payment of gratuity. 7. Considering the aforesaid, the writ petition is disposed of leaving it open to the petitioner to submit a representation for payment of interest on delayed payment of gratuity. The said representation would be preferred before respondent no.2 within two weeks along with certified copy of this order. In case such representation is made the respondent no.2 shall proceed to decide the same in accordance with law within a further period of six weeks. Order Date :- 20.8.2025 A.
