- 4 - ( CORAM : KISHORE C. SANT AND SUSHIL M. GHODESWAR, JJ. ) DATE : 8 JANUARY, 2026 PER COURT :

CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 12730 OF 2025 IN FA/2441/2023 CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 13336 OF 2025 IN FA/2787/2023 1.

These are the applications filed by the original claimants seeking directions to respondent No.2 to deposit the amount in the office of this Court. The difference is because of the wrong calculation in the number of days, as the Court passing the award has corrected the dates subsequent to filing of the appeals. This position is not in dispute.

2.

In view of the above, both these applications are allowed and Respondent No.2 is directed to deposit the deficit amount alongwith 12 percent component, in the office of this Court, within a period of 60 days from today.

- 5 - 3.

Civil applications are allowed in the above terms. ( SUSHIL M. GHODESWAR, J.) ( KISHORE C. SANT, J.)
