The only grievance which is voiced by the appellant/claimant in this appeal is that the decree passed by the reference court does not provide for interest on the solatium component of the total compensation. The issue is covered by the judgment of the Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court in Sunder v. Union of India ( 200(1)KLT 489(SC). Under these circumstances, we dispose of this appeal finding that the appellant will be entitled for interest on the solatium component of the total compensation which is payable to him by virtue of the judgment and decree passed by the reference court. The trial court decree will stand clarified accordingly. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE JUDGE P.Q.BARKATH ALI JUDGE sv.
