Hence, the petitioners submit that they are entitled to the benefit under the said settlement dated 29.05.2025 along with interest and they had submitted representations to the respondents on 23.01.2026 to pay the difference along with interest. Since the same was not considered, the present writ petition has been filed. 3.
