The Review petition is filed with the following prayers. “To review the judgment dated 3rd June 2009 in WP(c).No.24314/2006 passed by this Hon'ble Court by making provision for payment of reasonable interest for the excess amount despited by the review petitioner as per the directions of this Hon'ble Court or in the alternative to clarify that review petitioner would be entitled to claim interest for the excess amount deposited as per directions of this Hon'ble Court before the appropriate legal forum.” 2. Prior to the judgment, pursuant to the orders of this court as contained in Annexure-1 judgment in WP(c).No.6712/2006 , the petitioner had deposited an amount of Rs.6,61,068/-. In addition to that, petitioner has also deposited a further sum of Rs.2 lakhs pursuant to the interim order passed in the writ petition on 13.9.2006. 3. After the judgment, the directions therein were were implemented by the respondents and finally by Annexure-A3 the petitioner was informed that of the aforesaid payments made by RP.No.724 /2010 :2 : him, after appropriating a part of it towards its liability, there was a balance of Rs.5,09,195/-. In this review petition, the relief sought for by the petitioner is to direct that on the aforesaid excess amount, the petitioner should be paid reasonable interest. 4. In the counter affidavit filed by the respondents, they would dispute the claim of the petitioner and it is further stated that the excess amount indicated above has been adjusted against the petitioner's monthly regular bills for the period subsequent to May, 2010. 5. As rightly pointed out by the learned counsel for the respondents in the writ petition the petitioner had not sought any prayer for interest, in the event the amount paid is excess. Such being the pleadings it cannot be said that this court committed any error in not providing for payment of reasonable interest for the excess amount paid. Therefore, the review sought for by the petitioner cannot be granted. Be that as it may, the contentions of the petitioner to agitate his claim for interest are left open to be urged in appropriate proceedings. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ RP.No.724 /2010 :3 :
