Briefly stated, according to the case of the petitioner, proceeding under the Workman Compensation Act was initiated on 27th January, 2005 claiming a sum of Rs. 3,25,000/- towards compensation with 12% interest when in point of fact in the year, 2001, the demand was of Rs. 2,16,910 with 12% interest by way of claim petition.
