This appeal has been filed against the order dated 12.10.1992 passed by the Railway Claims Tribunal, Jaipur Bench, Jaipur in O.A. No-1-290\/1991.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. Learned Counsel for the plaintiff-appellant has raised only one question with regard to the date from which the interest ought to have been allowed by the Tribunal. The submission of the learned Counsel for the appellant is that the Tribunal has allowed the interest from the date of fling of the application for claim before it i.e., 8.8.191 whereas the interest ought to have been allowed w.e.f. the date of arising of the cause of action which as per the appellant is 13.11.1989. Learned Counsel for the appellant has placed reliance on the unreported decision of this Court dated 26.5.2003 rendered in the case of Union of India through the General Manager, Western Railway, Church Gate, Bombay v. Associate Cos. Ltd. Cement Works at Lakheri.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. On the other hand, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Union of India, has submitted that the learned Tribunal has rightly allowed the interest only w.e.f. the date of filing of the application and not from the date of arising of the cause of action and the learned Tribunal has rightly taken into consideration the overall facts and circumstances including the fact that the interest ought to have been awarded from the date of application and the claimants would not be entitled to get the interest under Section 178-D of the Indian Railways Act, from the date of booking and it would amount to damages on damages.\n<\/p>\n<p>4. I have considered the rival submissions made at the Bar. However, in view of the fact that this Court in the above referred case of Union of India through G.M.W.R. Church Gate, Bombay v. Associate Cos. Ltd. Cement Works at Lakheri, (supra) has taken the view that the claimant would be entitled to get interest w.e.f. the date of arising of the cause of action. I am inclined to adopt the same and hold that the appellant shall be entitled to interest from the date of arising of cause of action.\n<\/p>\n<p>5. Consequently, the appeal is allowed to extent as indicated above. It is hereby directed that the appellant would be entitled to interest @ 6% per annum as awarded by the Tribunal w.e.f. the date of arising of cause of action i.e., 13.11.1989 in place of the date of filing of the claim petition as awarded by the Tribunal.\n<\/p>\n<p>No order as to costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rajasthan High Court Dcm Shriram Consolidated Ltd. vs Union Of India (Uoi) on 10 December, 2004 Equivalent citations: II (2005) ACC 371 Author: D Singh Bench: D Singh JUDGMENT Dalip Singh, J. 1.
