IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MA No.237 of 2011 SHARDA DEVI, W/o Late Bunni Lal, R/o Village – Madhubani South Tola, P.S. - Chiraia, Distt.- East Champaran. ....... Appellant/Claimant Versus THE UNION OF INDIA through General Manager, N.E. Railway, Gorakhpur. ........ Respondent / Opp. Party ----------- 3 21.06.2011 The present appeal has been preferred against the judgment and order dated 15.12.2010, passed by Railway Claim Tribunal, Patna Bench in Calim Case No. OA 143 of 2001, whereby, claim of the appellant was accepted and respondents were directed to pay compensation amount of Rs. 4,00,000/- within a period of two months from the date of the judgment, failing which, the respondents were directed to pay interest at the rate of 9% from the date of filing of the claim petition. The appellant has challenged the impugned order only on the point that interest was to be paid from the date of filing of the claim. Sri Anil Singh, learned counsel appearing on behalf of sole respondent/Union of India through General Manager, N.E. Railway, Gorakhpur submits that compensation amount has been paid to the claimant/appellant on 21.02.2011. Accordingly, payment has been made after expiry of more than two months from the date of the judgment and as such without any direction by this court the appellant can get interest from the date of filing of the claim in terms of order passed by the Tribunal. In view of statement made on behalf of the respondent/Railway, the court is of the opinion that the appeal is misconceived. No direction is required to be given. The appeal stands rejected.
