IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Review No 7 of 2009 Md Murtuza Hussain, son of Shansul Haque, resident of village - Baksama, P S - Goraul, Dist - Vaishali - Petitioner Versus 1 The State of Bihar 2 The Bihar State Housing Board, Patna through its Managing Director 3 The Chief Engineer, Bihar State Housing Board, Patna 4 The Revenue Officer, Bihar State Housing Board, Patna 5 The Bihar State Housing Board, Muzaffarpur Division, Muzaffarpur 6 Executive Engineer, Bihar State Housing Board, Muzaffarpur 7 Assistant Engineer, Bihar State Housing Board, Muzaffarpur, Sub Division, Muzaffarpur - Respondents *** For the petitioner : Mr Azhar Kareem, Advocate *** 4 16.04.2009 This review application has been filed by the petitioner for reviewing the judgment dated 16.09.2008 as passed by this Court in CWJC No 13666 of 2007. The relief that the petitioner was granted in the said writ petition is quoted hereunder : “The petitioner would thus be entitled to get revalidated cheque forthwith, as noticed above alongwith simple interest @ 6% per annum from the time payment was issued from the date of cheque. Which payment should be made by cheque in favour of the petitioner within a period of one month by the respondent-Executive Engineer, Muzaffarpur Division of the Bihar State Housing Board.” A simple reading of the said operative portion would clearly bear out that there is an apparent typographical error in the very first sentence. When interest was awarded as compensation what is recorded is that “simple interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the time payment was issued from the date of cheque.” This sentence makes little sense. In my view, this should read “simple interest at the rate of 2 6% per annum from the time payment was due to the date of cheque.” Learned counsel for the Housing Board very fairly accepts the situation. On behalf of the Housing Board, he furnishes a cheque being Cheque No 225670 dated 04.04.2009 drawn on Canara Bank, Muzaffarpur in favour of the petitioner for an amount of Rs 44,597/-. This, the learned counsel states, is the simple interest calculated at the rate of 6% per annum from the time payment was due (June 1984) to the date of cheque (March 2008). This, in my view, should now satisfy the judgment and the petitioner. The said cheque is handed over to the learned counsel for the petitioner in Court. This civil review application is, accordingly, disposed of. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh)
