The Insurance Company further deposited the balance amount along with interest when directed by this court. 3. This Court disposed of the appeals of the insurance company and held that the Insurance Company is not liable to pay the amount of compensation and directed that the insurance company would be entitled to recover the amount deposited by it from the HP State Civil Supplies Corporation. It was further ordered that it shall be entitled to recover the amount deposited along with interest by filing execution petition(s) before the learned MACT concerned. 4. Certain amounts were deposited by the HP State Civil Supply Corporation in the Registry of this Court. According to the Insurance Company the amount deposited was not the full amount and therefore it filed execution petition to recover the balance amount. 5. This Court in similar matters clearly held that the Insurance Company can only get interest on the principal amount ordered to be paid and cannot claim interest on the interest deposited by it alongwith principal amount while filing execution petitions. This order was passed in Civil Revisions 47 of 2009 and other connected matter on 09.12.2010. 6. Therefore, the order of the learned executing Court is modified and the learned executing Court is directed to re- calculate the amount due and payable to the insurance company -: 3 :- from the HP State Civil Supplies Corporation by taking into consideration the above observations that the insurance company will be entitled to interest only on the principal amount awarded. 7. With these observations, the petition stands disposed of. No costs. (Deepak Gupta) Judge July 14, 2011 (rajni)
