D.B.Special Appeal(Writ) No.1649/2008 The State of Raj. & Ors. V/s M/s B.Gautam & Co. & anr. 20.10.2008 Hon'ble the Chief Justice Mr.Narayan Roy Hon'ble Mr.Justice Mohammad Rafiq Mr.B.L.Avasthi, Addl. Government Counsel for the appellants. Heard learned counsel for the appellants. By the order impugned, the learned Single Judge of this Court has issued a direction to pay interest upon the final billing amount of Rs.9,22,288/- as the same was released and paid after three years of the due date. It is not in dispute that necessary payment was made after some delay. Since it was a case of delayed payment of the amount payable to the writ-petitioner, in our view, the learned Single Judge of this Court has rightly exercised his discretion by directing the authorities to pay interest on the delayed payment of the billing amount. In this view of the matter, we do not find any merit in this appeal. This appeal accordingly is dismissed. (Mohammad Rafiq)J. (Narayan Roy)C.J. Parmar
