Circumstances, after considering the earlier orders of this Court, by an

order dated 08.02.2022 in W.P.No. 3074 of 2022, had directed that the

respondents should pay the principal amount of the bill raised by the

petitioner therein while leaving it open to the petitioner to agitate his right

for interest.

3. In the said circumstances and following the said judgment,

this writ petition is allowed, with a direction to the respondents to finalize

the amounts payable to the petitioner within a period of three weeks from

today and in any event to pay the amounts due to the petitioner within a

period of six weeks thereafter.

4. Needless to say, it would be open to the petitioner to agitate

his rights for payment of interest in an appropriate forum. There shall be

no order as to costs.
