IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2146 of 2010 NAGESHWAR MEHTA Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS. ----------- 2 10.11.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Principal amount or the due has been paid to the petitioner. His claim is that he should be paid interest for the delayed payment. The stand of the respondent corporation is that looking at the precarious situation of the corporation even the salary of the employees has not been paid and the corporation is presently not in a position to pay interest. The reason explained by the respondent corporation cannot be said to be unreasonable. The Court is not inclined to give any further direction for payment of interest. This contempt application stands disposed of. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
