Application for condonation of delay (CAN 1 of 2026) is allowed without any objection. Re: M.A.T. 145 of 2026 2. Heard the learned advocate for the parties. 3. An order of the learned Single Judge impugned in the present intra-court appeal directed payment of Monthly Monetary Cash Compensation (MMCC) under the NCWA with effect from the date of demise of the husband of petitioner no.2 i.e. w.e.f. 15.05.2011. It is not in dispute that the petitioner no.1 was subsequently granted a compassionate appointment on 23.01.2025. Therefore, the dues under MMCC are for a period from 15.05.2011 to 23.01.2025. The amount having not paid, the Hon’ble Single Judge directed for payment of this amount with interest quantified in the order at 6% which would increase to 8% if not paid within 28.02.2025. 2 4. The learned advocate for the appellants submits that subject to result of the present intra-court appeal, the entire amount of MMCC due i.e., ₹.42,13,696.68/- (Rupees forty two lakh thirteen thousand six hundred ninety six and sixty eight paise only), along with interest quantified by the learned Single Judge ₹.21,90,379.31/- (Rupees twenty one lakh ninety thousand three hundred seventy nine and thirty one paise only) was deposited by the appellants before the Registrar General, High Court, Calcutta by a demand draft dated 10.03.2026, drawn on the State Bank of India for an amount of ₹.64,04,075.99/- (Rupees sixty four lakh four thousand seventy five and ninety nine paise only). 5. The learned Advocate representing the appellant submits that the appeal was preferred by the appellant only with respect to the issue of interests awarded by the Hon’ble Single Judge. The learned Advocate for the writ petitioner/respondent upon instructions submitted that in view of the appointment granted to the petitioner no.1, the petitioner no.2 (wife) is content with an amount of MMCC paid for the period in question 15.05.2011 to 23.01.2025. 6. The writ petitioners are not pressing their relief in respect of the interest component. In view of such 3 stand of the parties nothing survives in the present appeal. 7. The stand of the parties would be satisfied if the amount of MMCC deposited [₹.42,13,696.68/- (Rupees forty two lakh thirteen thousand six hundred ninety six and sixty eight paise only)] is paid to the petitioner from the amounts deposited by the appellants before the Registrar General. After making such payment to the writ petitioner/respondent no.2; the balance of the amount deposited may be refunded to the first appellant. 8. The learned Registrar General is directed to make payment to the writ petitioner/respondent no.2 and the first appellant through Account Payeee Cheque, accordingly. 9. Let the same be done expeditiously and without any undue delay. 10. In view of the issue being resolved between the parties, the Letters Patent Appeal stands disposed of accordingly. 11. Other pending applications stand disposed of. (Madhuresh Prasad, J.) (Prasenjit Biswas, J.)
