UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following O R D E R 1. Our order dated 17.10.2025 reads thus: “ 1. Delay condoned. Signature Not Verified 2. The petitioner herein has been directed Digitally signed by SNEHA DAS to pay Rs.4,53,287/ with compound interest Date: 2025.12.01 18:21:36 IST Reason: as provided under Section 16 of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 (for short “the MSMED Act). The amount with interest as awarded now comes 2 to around Rs.84 lakh. 3. We do not propose to go into the merits of the matter. We are inclined to hear the parties only on the issue of interest. 4. Ms. Geeta Luthra, the learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioner has placed strong reliance on the order passed by a Coordinate Bench of this Court dated 22.1.2025 in the matter of “M/s. Tamil Nadu Cements Corporation Limited vs. Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council and Anr.” reported in 2025 INSC 91. 5. Mr. Ankolekar Gurudatta, the learned counsel has appeared on behalf of the respondent on caveat. 6. We are of the view that it will be in the fitness of the things and in the interest of all the parties concerned if they sit together and try to work out something amicably insofar as the interest component is concerned. 7. With the consent of both the parties, we appoint Mr. Rishabh Sancheti, the learned counsel, who is present in the Court to act as the Sole Mediator for the purpose of bringing around some settlement between the parties on the issue which we have highlighted. 8. The parties are directed to request the Learned Mediator for fixing a date for mediation. The fees etc. of the learned Mediator shall be fixed in consultation with the parties. 9. The venue of the mediation shall be decided mutually by the parties and the Learned Mediator. 10. Post this matter after a period of six 3 weeks.” 2. Unfortunately, the mediation has failed. 3. Having heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties and having gone through the materials on record, we find no good reason to interfere with the impugned order passed by the High Court. 4. The Special Leave Petition is, accordingly, dismissed. 5. Pending application(s), if any, along with the application for impleadment also stand disposed of.
