HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.CHANDRA KUMAR C.R.P.No. 2749 of 2009 O R D E R This revision is directed against the order dated 13.4.2009 passed in EP No. 3 of 2006 in OP No. 165 of 1993 on the file of the I Addl. District Judge, Nizamabad. 2. The only submission of the learned counsel for the revision petitioner is that the lower court did not consider the fact that the decreeholder has filed a calculation memo calculating interest on interest and there may not be any interest on interest and moreover, the insurance company came to know about the amended decree only after filing of the EP and they have no knowledge about the subsequent amendment and as per the earlier Judgment and Decree the petitioner had fully complied with the decree by deposing the amount of Rs.1,38,712/- by calculating interest from 5.4.1993 to 26.9.1996 in terms of the decree. 3. The learned counsel for the respondents/claimants submits that the lower court has taken into consideration of all the facts and circumstances of the case and also the objections filed by the insurance company. Admittedly, the OP filed by the respondents herein was decreed on 8.10.1995 awarding compensation of Rs.96,800/- with interest at 12% p.a. from 14.3.1988 till the date of realization. Accordingly, the petitioner- insurance company has calculated the interest from 5.4.1993 to 26.9.1996 and deposited the title amount of Rs.1,38,712/-. However, the fact remains that the respondents herein filed I.A. No.1447 of 1997 praying to condone the delay and the said application has been allowed and as a result of which the award passed by the Tribunal stands allowed enabling them to claim interest from the date of presentation of their OP i.e, from 14.3.1988 onwards. Now it is the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that again they have calculated from 14.4.1998 to 4.4.1993 which comes to Rs.58,748/- and accordingly they have paid the amount. But however, the petitioners now filed a calculation memo claiming interest on interest and the objection of the insurance company is not taken into consideration by the Tribunal. Admittedly, the petitioner-insurance company has deposited the amount of Rs.58,748/- on 18.4.2007 but calculated interest from 14.3.1988 to 4.4.1993. This means they have to pay upto 18.4.2007. Be that as it may, as seen from the calculation memo of the decreeholder, the total awarded amount comes to 98,600/- and suit costs and EP costs comes to Rs.2,256/-. Now they have calculated interest at 12% p.a. from 14.3.1988 to 26.9.1996 on Rs.96,800/-. It does not mean that interest is calculated on interest. When a decree has been amended, it is settled law that the amendment goes back from the date of filing of the original suit or original application. 4. Therefore, the decree is deemed to have been amended from 14.3.1988 onwards. When a decree for Rs.96,800/- is amended from 14.3.1988, the claimants have not committed any mistake in calculating the interest from 14.3.1988 to 26.9.1996. Of course, the amount already deposited by the insurance company has to be given credit. Accordingly, the amount was given credit. Even if the amount is given credit, the unpaid balance amount comes to Rs.59,467/-. According to insurance company the balance amount was only Rs.58,749/-. Claimants have claimed interest from 27.9.1996 to 26.7.2005 and the balance of amount which comes to Rs.62,292/- and the total amount comes to Rs.1,21,759/- and even after deducting the amount of Rs.58,648/- deposited by the insurance company, the balance due comes to Rs.63,011/-. For the earlier period whether separate calculation has to be made as done by the insurance company or whether the calculation has to be made on the total amount as per the amended award is the quesiton that arise for considration. I do not see any irregularity or any mistake in the impugned order passed by the lower court. The calculation made cannot be termed as an interest on interest. 5. There are two ways of calculating interest as also calculating the total amount due. The way chosen by the claimants is as per the amended order. The way chosen by the insurance company is calculating interest separately i.e., from the date of earlier Judgment and Decree and subsequently, only with regard to the due amount as per the amended order. When a decree is amended subsequently the effect is from the original date of decree. Therefore, the interest has to be calculated on the total awarded amount from the date as per the amended decree. Therefore, it cannot be said that the stand taken by the claimants is totally unreasonable or against any settled legal position. Accordingly, we do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned order passed by the lower court. 6. Accordingly, the revision petition is dismissed. No costs. ________________________ B.CHANDRA KUMAR,J Dt. 04-02-2011. Mjl/*
