IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No.1940 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision: 1.5.2009 State of Haryana and others ....Petitioners Versus Jai Narain Bhardwaj ...Respondent CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr. Navneet Singh, AAG Haryana. RAJESH BINDAL J **** The challenge in the present revision petition is to the order dated January 3, 2009, passed by the Executing Court directing the petitioner to pay interest @12% on Rs.1,31,217/- to the respondent/decree holder from May 31, 1999 to September 12, 2000 till realization thereof. Briefly, the facts are that vide judgment and decree dated March 8, 2004, the trial Court had held the respondent to be entitled to recover Rs. 1,31,217/- from the petitioner along with interest at the rate of 12% per annum from May 31, 1999 to September 12, 2000 till realization of the amount. The appeal filed by the petitioner against the judgment and decree of the trial Court was dismissed. The judgment and decree of First Appellate Court attained finality as no further appeal was filed. The submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the learned trial Court had only granted interest upto September 12, 2000. However, the submission is not borne out from the decree passed in favour of respondent where though the dates were mentioned but it was further directed that interest is payable till realization of the entire amount. Keeping these facts in view, I do not find any merit in the submission made. Accordingly, the revision petition is dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) 1.5.2009 JUDGE Reema
