But, the respondents have not taken any action so far. Hence, this writ petition. Despite service of notice, the respondents have not chosen to file any counter. In the light of the same, this Court is of the view that the contentions put forth by the petitioner are not controverted and the same shall be accepted. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed directing the respondents to pay the said amount of Rs.41,000/- to the petitioner together with interest at 12 per cent per annum from 20.08.1998 till the date of realization, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
