No.506 OF 2005 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of March, 2010 O R D E R Ramachandran Nair, J. Review Petition is filed stating that this Court has not considered the prayer for enhancement of interest granted by the MACT on the compensation awarded by it. We find force in this contention because interest granted on additional compensation granted by us is at the rate of 7.5 per cent per annum whereas the interest granted on the original compensation allowed by the MACT is only6%. We feel the omission needs to be rectified in review proceedings. Consequently Review Petition is allowed enhancing the interest from 6% on the original compensation awarded to 7.5% per annum payable from the date of application till date of deposit. (C.N. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge. (C. K. ABDUL REHIM) Judge. kk
