The Bombay High Court, has directed Mumbai Port Trust to pay interest on the delayed salary of nearly 30 months, to an employee, who refused to link his Aadhar Card with salary payment. Justice Akhil Kureshi and S J Kathawala while disposing of the petition filed by employee Ramesh Kurhade said “Mumbai Port Trust shall pay simple interest @ 7.5% per annum to the petitioner on delayed payment of salary. The same shall be done latest by July 31, 2019.” Now that the Supreme court has given its final verdict pursuant to which his salary is also released, the petitioner must receive reasonable interest on delayed payment.
