SURINDER KAUR Vs. GOVERNMENT OF PUNJAB

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Leave granted. We have heard learned counsel for the parties finally in this appeal.

(2.) The short question is when the appellate authority by its order dated 22/11/1995 set aside the resumption order and restored the disputed site to the appellant whether it was justified in directing the appellant to pay 7% regular interest for the defaulted payment of instalments of purchase price together with 18% penal interest. So far as the question of penal interest was concerned, the matter was carried by the appellant before the revisional authority which observed in para 6 of its order to the following effect:

(3.) Having so observed ultimately the revision was dismissed and the order of the appellate authority restoring the site on payment of regular interest at 7% and penal interest at 18% was confirmed. The appellant carried the matter in writ petition before the High court. The High court dismissed the writ petition by observing that "no ground to interfere. Dismissed. " That is why the appellant is before us.
