JUDGMENT This writ petition was filed complaining that although trees were cut from the petitioners' properties for drawing electric lines way back in 2002, compensation due was not paid. 2. It is now reported by both sides that, compensation amount has since been paid and therefore to that extent, the grievance of the petitioners is satisfied. 3. Now all that the petitioners seek is a direction to the respondents to pay interest on the belated payment. Counsel for the petitioner also made reference to a judgment rendered by this court in O.P.No.1652/2002 directing payment of applicable interest. Taking into account the judgment referred to above and without explaining anything on the merits, this writ petition is disposed of clarifying that the petitioners will be eligible for applicable interest.
