Having perused the averments made in the application, which is duly supported with the affidavit of Bishan Thakur alias Bishan Dass, sole proprietor of applicant/ respondent No.1, this Court finds it in the interest of justice to release 30% of the amount, alongwith up-to-date interest, out of the total awarded amount of compensation, which is lying deposited in the Registry of this Court, in favour of applicant/ respondent No.1, after proper verification and identification by remitting the same to its bank account, details whereof have been given in para-4 of the application. 5.
