The Kerala High Court has directed the post-office authorities to disburse in a month to a domestic help the amount deposited by her under the time deposit scheme with full interest till the date of withdrawal of the deposit.
The court also ordered the postal authorities to pay her ₹5,000 as litigation cost.
Justice P.V. Kunhikrishnan passed the directives while allowing a writ petition filed by one Saroja, a domestic help from Thiruvananthapuram, claiming interest on a deposit of ₹20,000 that she could not renew as she was not aware of the maturity date.
