Counsel for the petitioner has stated that the judgment rendered in Rajinder Pal's case (supra) is acceptable, however, in this judgment nowhere it has been clarified whether the rate of interest to be charged is compound or simple. Counsel further states that even though 50% penal interest component has been waived in Rajinder Pal's case (supra) yet simple interest Civil Writ Petition No. 5458 of 1988 2 should be charged. Present writ petition is disposed of in terms of Rajinder Pal's case (supra) with liberty to the petitioner to seek clarification from the concerned authorities. Counsel for the petitioner, however, states that petitioner had sought clarification from the concerned Bench but the application was dismissed. Mr. S.P. Singh, General Manager, Punjab Small Industries and Export Corporation Limited, who is present in the Court, states that calculation chart shall be provided to the petitioner within a fortnight from today and petitioner should make the entire payment within three months.
