They had moved this Court and ultimately this Court directed the authority to consider the matter in detail and if found admissible, pay the amount due. Upon consideration of whole matter, substantial payments were found due to the petitioners and the petitioners have been paid the said amount after a decade. In this writ petition, the petitioners have simply prayed for a direction to compensate them by interest for the undue delay in payment of the amount for which petitioners are not liable. Let petitioners make a representation to the concerned authority claiming compensation for delayed payment as this was a completely commercial transaction. The authority would consider the matter specially because petitioners are not to be blamed for the delay and pass an appropriate order and communicate the same to the petitioners. Petitioners, if aggrieved by the said order, they may avail - 2 - the remedy, as may be advised to them. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ petition stands disposed of. singh (Navaniti Prasad Singh)
