$~88 * IN THE HIGH COURT OF DELHI AT NEW DELHI # CNR No. DLHC010411952026 + W.P.(C) 12727/2026 & CM APPL. 59094/2026 COL JAMSHAID AKHTAR .....Petitioner Through: Mr. Indra Sen Singh, Advocate. versus UNION OF INDIA THROUGH & ORS. .....Respondents Through: Ms. Amrita Prakash, CGSC for R-1. Mr. Debarshi Bhadra, Advocate for Respondent no. 2 & 3. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SANJEEV NARULA O R D E R % 02.09.2026 1. Mr. Indra Sen Singh, counsel for the Petitioner, submits that while passing the judgment dated 08th May, 2026 in W.P.(C) 7625/2019, this Court did not consider the Petitioner’s claim for interest on the delayed payment of his terminal dues. He states that the terminal dues have since been released, but without interest. 2. Since the Petitioner’s claim for interest arises from the terminal dues which were the subject matter of W.P.(C) 7625/2019, and the grievance is that the question of interest was not considered while disposing of the said petition, a fresh writ petition for the said relief would not be the appropriate remedy. 3. In view of the above, after making submissions for some time, Mr. This is a digitally signed order.

He submits, however, that the matter may, in the first instance, be capable of being resolved administratively and seeks liberty to make a representation to the Respondents in this regard. 4. In light of the foregoing, the Petitioner is permitted to withdraw the present petition with liberty as prayed for. The Petitioner may submit a representation to the Respondents on the question of interest within a period of one week from today, which shall be considered and decided within a period of four weeks thereafter. In case the Petitioner remains aggrieved, it shall be open to him to seek review of the judgment dated 08th May, 2026 in W.P.(C) 7625/2019 on the aforesaid limited ground. 5. Accordingly, the present petition is disposed of as withdrawn, with liberty as aforesaid. Pending application(s), if any, also stand disposed of.
