Court :
High Court, Bombay

Brief :
The Hon’ble High Court held that the law provides that in the event, amount is not paid within a specified time, then, the Department will have to pay interest, unless and until, the Department had received any preventive or prohibitory order and direction. Mere pendency of the proceeding before the Tribunal and the Court in the given facts and circumstances, would not enable the Department to deny the claim of interest.
