KANTHA RAO WRIT APPEAL NO : 1057 of 2008 ORDER: (Per Sri Justice B Prakash Rao) Heard learned counsel on either side and at their request the appeal is taken up for ﬁnal disposal at the admission stage. The appellant herein is writ petitioner who ﬁled this appeal seeking to assail the orders to the extent of awarding the interest @ 6 % while allowing the writ petition. Learned counsel for appellant submits that taking note of the inﬂation and the fact that if the said amounts were returned in time and invested he would have got returns much more than 12 % interest. Having heard the counsel on either side and on perusal of the material available on record, we are of the view that on the principle the appellant herein could not claim any interest since it does not arise out of any contract or provision of law. Further awarding of interest and quantum is pure discretionary one and in view of the same, we see no reason warranting interference of the Court. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. No costs.
