Order on Memo of Appeal

¶3Learned counsel for the appellants has argued that he does not wish to press this Special Appeal beyond the direction issued by the writ court for payment of 8% interest on the amount due.

¶4Learned counsel representing the respondent, after arguing at some length, has stated that in case the amount of leave encashment payable to the respondent is paid in its entirety, within a period of three months from today, the respondent in that event shall not claim the benefit of interest as ordered by the writ court.

¶5Therefore, the present Special Appeal is disposed of with the direction that the appellants shall make entire payment of leave encashment admissible to the respondent within a period of three months, failing which the interest @ 8% as ordered by the writ court shall be paid. In case the amount is paid within the specified period of three months as provided herein above, the respondent shall not be entitled to the component of interest @ 8%.
