No. 5&6: Mr. Anoop Kr. Mehta, Advocate --- 08 / 28.03.2025 The present application has been filed under section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure for rectification of the order dated 19.08.2024 passed in W.P (S) No. 2601 of 2023, whereby and wherein, this court had directed the Respondent State to take a policy decision with regard to the payment of arrears of revised pension under 7th Pay Commission from 01.01.2016 to the within a period of three months from the date of receipt of copy of this order to the petitioners. 2. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submitted that in W.P (S) No. 2601 of 2023, petitioners had prayed for grant of benefit under the 3. 7th Pay Commission to the retired teachers of the State Universities and its constituent colleges along with interest @12% per annum. It was further submitted that the court had directed the State to take a policy decision in this matter, but no order was passed with regard to the payment of interest to the petitioners. It was further submitted that in a similar matter, Coordinate Bench of this Court in W.P (S) No. 5187 of 2022, W.P(S) No. 725 of 2023 and W.P (S) No. 1255 of 2023 had granted relief (s) claimed along with the payment of statutory interest @ 6% per annum from the date it fell due till the date of actual payment. 3. Learned counsel for the opposite parties has filed counter affidavit. It has been pleaded that the relief claimed in the present civil miscellaneous petition cannot be granted to the petitioners as the same would amount to reopening of the proceeding after the matter has been disposed of. Reliance has been placed upon a judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court rendered in the case of Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd. and others versus Adani Power Rajasthan Ltd. And Another [2024 SCC OnLine SC 313, wherein the Hon’ble Supreme Court at para-25 has observed, which reads as under: “25. We felt it necessary to examine the question about maintainability of the present application as we are of the view that it was necessary to spell out the position of law as to when such post-disposal miscellaneous applications can be entertained after a matter is disposed of. This Court has become functus officio and does not retain jurisdiction to entertain an application after the appeal was disposed of by the judgment of a three-Judge Bench of this Court on 31.08.2020 through a course beyond that specified in the statute. This is not an application for correcting any clerical or arithmetical error. Neither it is an application for extension of time. A post disposal application for modification and clarification of the order of disposal shall lie only in rare cases, where the order passed by this Court is executory in nature and the directions of the Court may become impossible to be implemented because of subsequent events or developments. The factual background of this Application does not fit into that description.” 4. This court has become functus officio after the disposal of W.P(S) No. 2601 of 2023. This is not an application for correcting any clerical or arithmetical error, nor it is an application for extension for time. This application is post disposal of application for modification of the order by further granting relief for payment of interest @12% per annum on the arrears of revised pension under 7th Pay Commission with effect from 01.01.2016. 4. 5. In view of the aforesaid facts, no case for review of the order dated 19.08.2024 passed in W.P(S) No. 2601 of 2023 is made out. Accordingly, this civil miscellaneous petition being devoid of merit, is dismissed. (Ambuj Nath, J) Ranjeet/ Uploaded
