Ramachandran Nair, J.

Review Petition is filed stating that this Court has not considered

the prayer for enhancement of interest granted by the MACT on the

compensation awarded by it. We find force in this contention because

interest granted on additional compensation granted by us is at the rate

of 7.5 per cent per annum whereas the interest granted on the original

compensation allowed by the MACT is only6%. We feel the omission

needs to be rectified in review proceedings. Consequently Review

Petition is allowed enhancing the interest from 6% on the original

compensation awarded to 7.5% per annum payable from the date of

application till date of deposit.
