1 fa960.sxw ssp IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELATE JURISDICTION FIRST APPEAL NO.960 OF 2010 The oriental Insurance Co.Ltd. ...Appellant vs. Bhimrao @ Bhima Pandurang Mhaske & Ors. ...Respondents Mr.Dinesh B. Gupta for the appellant Mr.Deepak Sharma for the respondent Nos.1 and 2 CORAM :A.S.OKA,J. DATE : OCTOBER 5, 2010 P.C. 1 Heard the learned counsel for the appellant and the learned counsel for the 1st and 2nd respondents. The only contention raised in this appeal is that the learned Commissioner has committed an error by directing the payment of interest from the date of filing of the claim application. The contention of the appellant is that the interest could have been made payable only from the date of the impugned order. 2 I have considered the submissions. In the present case, there is no dispute about the liability of the appellant. Only dispute is about the date from which the interest can be made payable. In the case of Muley Brothers Pvt.Ltd. And another vs. Samindarabai Karbhari Dandge and others (2009 1 CLR 86), this Court held that the Commissioner, after considering the facts of a peculiar case, can direct payment of interest from a date prior to the date of adjudication made by the learned Commissioner on claim petition under section 22 of the Workmen s Compensation Act,1923. 2 fa960.sxw 3 In the facts of the present case, there is no dispute about the liability of the appellant. The amount of compensation could have been deposited immediately after filing of the claim petition, but that was not done and therefore, in the facts of the present case, the learned Commissioner was justified in directing payment of interest from the date of filing of the claim petition. 4 Hence, no substantial question of law arises. Appeal is accordingly dismissed. 5 Civil application no.5004 of 2009 does not survive and the same is disposed of. JUDGE
