HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJIV SHAKDHER Ex.P. NOS. 164-167/2011 page 1of2
2013:DHC:6668
01.10.2013 Mr. Mukesh Gupta, who appears for the
ORDER
debtor in the captioned matters, says that he has obtained instructions to the extent that the judgment debtor has no objection to the release of the amount lying with the Registry.
As noted in the previous order, i.e. 11.9.2013, the amount lying with the Registry is the difference in the rate of interest as awarded by the learned
Single Judge as against that which is awarded by the Division Bench.
The Division Bench restored the award of interest to the rate awarded by the learned Ai'bitrator, i.e. 12% per annum.
The decree holders are thus entitled to the release of the differential amount, especially in view of the fact that the special leave petition against the Division Bench order also stands dismissed in the meanwhile.
The Registry is directed to release the amount to the decree holders.
In case the differential amount of interest is lying in a fixed deposit, any interest accrued thereon, shall also be released in favour of the decree holders.
The captioned applications are, accordingly, disposed of.
The Registry will release the amount to the decree holders and/or authorised representatives of the decree holders upon due satisfaction with regard to their authority.
