 Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and keeping in
view the quantum of compensation amount awarded and the basis on which the same has been arriv

ts along with the awarded interest @ 6% per annum on Rs.1,59,600/- from the date of filing of

t of Rs.10,10,000/- along with interest @ 6% per annum on Rs.1,59,600/-, from the date of fili
ng of the application with the learned Tribunal within six weeks hence. On deposit of the amou
nt, the same shall be disbursed to the claimants proportionately, as per the direction of the
learned Tribunal given in the impugned award.

nterest thereon shall be refunded to the appellant-Insurance Company, on production of receipt
