However, during the currency of the FDR period, rate of interest has been enhanced. This amount was not paid to the Complainants. This amount was paid only during the pendency of the proceedings before the District Forum. The question before the District Forum, if the amount should carry interest and ,if so, at what rate. Since the amounts had been withheld by the Petitioner without any apparenent reason, the District Forum directed that for the period od delay, there will be interest at the rate of 10% payable to the Complainants. The Petitions were directed to pay this amount within one month. The Petitioners, however, went in appeal to the State Commission against the order of the District Forum.
