In M.A. No. 75 of 2010 Counsel for the appellant :-Mr. Anant Kumar I, Advocate. Counsel for the respondent :-Mr. Binod Kumar Verma, Advocate. ----------- 11. 26. 11. 2010. All the three cases have been heard together and disposed of by a common order as the same point of law is involved in all the three cases. However, in all the three cases claim has been granted to the tune of Rs. 4,00,000/- each separately and it has been ordered that if amount of Rs. 4,00,000/- has not paid within two months from the date of the order, then the claimants shall be entitled 2 for interest of 9 % per annum from the date of filing of the petition. Learned counsel for the appellants has raised a grievance that, though, payment has been made in all the three cases, but payment has been made after two months, but interest has not been paid. However, they have assailed that order has been passed that if compensation amount is not paid within two months then only they will be entitled for interest at the rate of 9 % from the date of the petition for compensation has been filed. However, admittedly, in all the three cases, payment has been made after two months. Learned counsel for the Tribunal has also not disputed this fact that in all the three cases, payment has been made after two months from the date of the order. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, since, payment has been made after two months hence in sum and substance the order remained that claimants are entitled for interest on the compensation amount at the rate of 9% per annum from the date of filing of the petition and hence that remained in position, there is no grievance to assail the order and the claimants may proceed in accordance with law for realisation of the amount as the order in 3 sum and substance for interest from the date of filing of the petition. Hence, I do not find any merit to interfere with the order and hence the three appeals are hereby dismissed. However, the claimants, if so, desire may pursue their remedy in accordance with law. m.p.
