No.128 OF 2009 ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 11th day of June, 2009 J U D G M E N T Joseph, J. The only question of law which is sought to be raised is whether the Workmen's Compensation Commissioner is legally correct in granting interest on the amount of compensation from the date of accident in view of the provision contained in Section 4A-3 of the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923. We have followed the Division Bench decision of this court which have taken the view that in the light of the earlier larger Bench decision, the view taken by the lesser Bench will not prevail. In the light of this, there is no question of law. There is no merit in this case. The delay application is dismissed and the appeal is also dismissed. (K.M.JOSEPH, JUDGE) (M.L. JOSEPH FRANCIS, JUDGE) aks
