The contents of the petition indicate that the petitioner died on 31.07.2010 and inspite of passing of a considerable time, the due amount of State Insurance was not paid to the petitioner, hence, under these compelling circumstances, she has approached this Court by way of filing of the instant writ petition, with the aforesaid prayer.

Learned counsel for the respondent-State apprised this Court that due amount of State Insurance i.e. Rs.1,48,584/- has already been paid to the petitioner vide order dated 24.01.2024, hence, under the changed circumstances, no further cause of action survives with the petitioner to pursue this petition. Therefore, under the changed circumstances, this writ petition has become infructuous. 4. Considering the above factual aspect of the matter that amount of State Insurance has already been paid to the petitioner by the respondents vide order dated 24.01.2024, the instant petition stands disposed of, as having become infructuous. 5. However, it is observed by this Court that without any justified reason, the due amount of the petitioner towards State Insurance was withheld by the respondents for a considerable time, therefore, he is entitled to get the interest on the aforesaid amount at the rate of 9% per annum and accordingly, a direction is issued to the respondents to pay interest to the petitioner on the delayed payment of amount within a period of three months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. 6.
