The Court: The two appeals are filed by the company and the claimant. 2. The issue is payment of benefits under the Monthly Monetary Cash Compensation(MMCC) under the National Coal Wage Agreement. 3. The company had assailed the order of the learned Single Judge disputing the entitlement of the claimant on various grounds. 4. The writ petitioners had assailed the order by reason of the plea that interest ought to have been awarded for the claim under the MMCC, the same having disbursed after a long delay. 5. Today, when the case is taken up, learned Advocate for the company, Mr. Das, on instructions submits that the company has agreed to pay the MMCC dues to the 2 writ petitioners with effect from the date of demise of the workman, but without any interest in respect of the arrears. 6. Mr. Ghosh, learned Advocate for the writ petitioners, submits on instructions from his clients, that in the event such payment is made, they will not press for grant of any interest in the matter. 7. Learned Advocate for the company submits that the admissible dues would be paid to the writ petitioners within eight weeks from date. Payment will be made along with a chart showing details of calculations of the amounts being paid to the petitioners, with effect from the date of demise of the workman. 8. There being an amicable resolution in terms of the above instructions communicated to the Court, nothing survives in the two appeals as the same do not call for any adjudication whatsoever. 9. Recording the stand of the parties, the two appeals along with the connected application are disposed of. (MADHURESH PRASAD, J.) (PRASENJIT BISWAS, J.) tk
