U O I vs DEHA ASSAM TEA CO — C.A. No. 4994/1997

Case Summary: C.A. No. 004994 / 1997 On 27 September 2005, the Supreme Court heard I.A. No. 2 of 2005 (enforcement application) in which Deha Assam Tea Co. sought implementation of a 16 September 2003 court order directing the Union of India to pay arbitration compensation with 9% interest from June 1989, plus Rs. 10,000 cost, within eight weeks. The Court found the Union had failed to comply for over 16 months despite personal meetings and lawyer's notice. The Court accepted a demand draft of Rs. 10,22,364 handed over in court (though the claimant disputed the calculation and reserved rights to claim the balance), awarded an additional Rs. 25,000 as cost for the inordinate delay, and directed payment within two weeks via demand draft, with liberty for the claimant to approach the Court if non-compliance continued.
