There is a short delay in making the deposit of interim compensation. Instead of determing correctness of order dated 8 September 2025 at this stage, it would be appropriate to direct expeditous decision of the Appeal. It is also seen that after the default in payment of the interim compensation for April and May-2022, the Petitioner appears to be regular in depositing the interim compensation. 4) Accordingly, order dated 8 September 2025 is set aside. The Application at Exhibit-33 =led in Regular Darkhast No.51 of 2016 is allowed in terms of prayers made therein. Appellate Court is requested to decide the Appeal in an expeditious manner, preferrably within a period of six months. 5) Since the main Petition is disposed of, nothing survives in the Interim Application and the same is accordingly disposed of.
