Fault lay with the complainant as well as the petitioner partly because it accepted the irregular investment and enjoyed the deposits made by the complainant. In a number of cases this Commission has awarded interest at the rate of 6% to balance the equities in cases where the Department of Posts had agreed to pay 6% simple interest on irregular deposits taken after obtaining the instructions/approval from Ministry of Finance, Deptt. of Expenditure. State Commission has referred to one of the judgements passed by this Commission. No merits. Dismissed. However, the period for making the payment is extended by another two months from today. If the petitioner pays the amount within two months, then the costs awarded by the State Commission shall stand waived.
