Sri Abhishek N.V., the learned counsel for the review petitioner, submits that the present petition is filed along with an application for condonation of delay because the respondents have not settled the pension and retiral benefits despite specific directions and the apprehension that the petitioner would be denied the interest is because it is not specifically stated in the first direction. This Court must observe that if the respondents have not complied with the specific time bound directions, the review petitioner must workout her remedy in accordance with law, and as regards the - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:9656 RP No. 559 of 2024 apprehension that the petitioner would not be paid interest because of this Court's direction which reads that ' directing the respondents to settle the petitioner's pension and other retiral benefits', would encompass her right to interest, if permitted under the Rules. As such, there is no reason for interference and the petition stands disposed of accordingly. Consequentially, all the pending applications stand disposed of. Sd/- (B M SHYAM PRASAD) JUDGE SA
