STATE OF HARYANA Vs. KAMLESH BATRA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS petition is directed against the order dated 10.08.2010, passed by the Addl. District Judge, Ambala, allowing the Respondent -decree holder to receive interest on the deposited amount.

(2.) LEARNED State counsel has argued that no amount of interest could be recovered by the claimants for the period during which the stay remained in operation and the amount remained deposited with the bank.

(3.) FROM the perusal of the aforesaid order, it transpires that since the amount of interest accrued upon the fixed deposit receipts, was not to be taken into consideration while making the payment of compensation or other benefits to the claimants, as directed by the Court, therefore, the Respondent was entitled to all the benefits as ordered by the High Court. However, the amount already received by the Respondent would be adjusted.
