21-year salary delay case: HC orders payment of Rs 6.71 lakh arrears with restricted interest

A retired government employee's son finally received Rs 6.71 lakh in unpaid salary after a 21-year wait. While the Patna High Court initially ordered interest on the full arrears, a larger bench restricted it to three years preceding the court filing. This decision aligns with Supreme Court precedents on delayed claims.
