In the High Court for the States of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh. FAO No. 3335 of 2007 (O&M) Decided on 30.6.2010. New India Assurance Company --Appellant vs. Smt.Shakuntla and others -- Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr.Neeraj Khanna,Advocate,for the appellant Rakesh Kumar Jain, J, (Oral) Only argument raised by learned counsel for the appellant is that the amount of interest has to be determined from the date of adjudication and not from the date of accident. The argument though appears to be attractive, but has been dealt with by this Court in the case of New India Assurance Company Limited Vs. Manphool Singh and others (2008-1) P.L.R.706 in which it has been held while relying upon a judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of Pratap Narain Singh Deo Vs. Srinivas Sabata (1976) 1 .S.C.C 289 that interest would be payable one month after the date of accident and not from the date of adjudication. FAO No.3335 of 2007 (O&M) -2- In view of the above, I do not find any merit in this appeal and the same is hereby dismissed. 30.6.2010 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge
