Workmen's Compensation Act | Interest Accrues Until Physical Payment to Decree-Holder Despite Appeal Deposit: Karnataka HC
Karnataka High Court rules that interest under the Workmen’s Compensation Act continues to accrue until the award amount is physically received by the decree-holder, even if deposited in appeal. Unilateral deposits without compliance with CPC Order XXI do not discharge the liability, reinforcing the executing court’s role in ensuring full payment.
