The Hindustan Commercial Bank Ltd. vs Jagtar Singh on 9 October, 1973

4. In the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents, it is simply stated that since the petitioner has not been assigned any work, therefore, his salary has not been paid. This cannot be a ground for withholding the payment of his salary. Since he has complied with the orders of his transfer and joined at Bareilly, Chandausi and thereafter at Moradabad, he is entitled for his monthly emoluments. Further since the respondents have not justified their stand in withholding the payment of salary to the petitioner, in the opinion of this Court, he is also entitled to interest on the arrears of his salary illegally withheld by the respondents since July 1, 1986 so as to indemnify the loss suffered by him. The court can grant interest on the principles of justice, equity and good conscience. See Hindustan Commercial Bank Ltd. v. Jagtar Singh (AIR) 1974 P&H 208 and Gupta Pvt. Loan Committee v. Smt.
