Moving forward in his fight to win back his hard-earned money, former Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) assistant general manager Raja Basu will be filing a fresh petition in the Bombay High Court over non-payment of interest on his gratuity amount of Rs 20 lakh. While Basu received the basic amount in his account on October 11, the interest has still not been paid.

On September 17, mid-day reported about the rigmarole Basu was being put through in 'Retired officer turns to HC for his dues, again'. The report mentioned how the assistant labour commissioner (central) had not released Basu's gratuity payment. Four days after mid-day's report, even before the matter could come on board, a hearing was conducted and the assistant labour commissioner (central) heard both SCI and Basu, before finally clearing the payment order, in a two-page handwritten order (mid-day has a copy).
