petitioner with the correct calculation of the interest charged, together with requisite clarifications, if any, within a time period to be stipulated by this Court. Agreed to by the learned counsel for petitioner.

It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any views on the merits of the case and it is open to the concerned respondent to consider the case on its own merits and in accordance with law.
