Case (C) No.1129 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 3rd September, 2008 JUDGMENT The learned Government Pleader submits on the basis of fax message No.A-1167/08 received by him that the interest on solatium in respect of the above case was calculated and the same has been submitted to the District Collector for allotment of funds. As and when funds are allotted from the higher authorities, payment will be released. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is hard- pressed for money and a time frame should be set for releasing payments. Having considered the submissions, I am of the view that it is too early for initiating contempt action against the respondents. However, the Contempt Case will stand disposed of issuing the following directions: The additional 2nd respondent is directed to make requisite funds available with the 1st respondent so that the interest portion of the redetermined compensation can be released to the petitioner at the earliest. The funds will be made available by the additional 2nd respondent within three months from today and the 1st respondent will release payment within three weeks of receiving the funds. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
