It is submitted that the compensation due to the petitioners was re-determined as early as on 24.9.2004 but the amount due to them is not yet disbursed. Secondly it is contended that though the respondents are liable to pay interest from the date of taking over possession, i.e., 21.1.1997, interest was awarded only from the date of award. It is submitted that the petitioners have filed a petition to correct the award but so far no orders are passed in that petition also. Learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that for filing petitions to correct clerical errors, etc. the time limit prescribed under the Act and Rules is six months and in this case correction petition was filed on 2.11.2007 and the same was dismissed on 29.2.2008 as time barred. It is submitted that the amount will be disbursed to the parties within a period of two months from today. Writ Petition is closed recording the submissions made by learned Government Pleader. K.
