SIRI JAGAN, J ............................................... W.P(C) No. 83 of 2008 ................................................. Dated this the 13th day of July, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner filed this writ petition challenging the proceedings for recovery of liability from his DCRG. It is admitted by both sides that subsequently the petitioner has been absolved from liability and therefore no further orders are necessary in this writ petition. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner presses for interest. I am not inclined to consider the question of interest in these proceedings. That question is left open to be agitated by the petitioner in appropriate proceedings. This writ petition is closed as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE rhs
