There is no dispute that the commutation amount was disbursed only pursuant to Ext.R2(a) judgment dated 24-1-2002. In that judgment, there is no direction to pay interest on the delayed disbursement. The issues having thus attained finality as per Ext.R2(a) judgment, the petitioner cannot make an attempt to resurrect the otherwise closed issues in this writ petition. It is accordingly dismissed.
