Date of Calculating Interest - Interest is generally awarded from the date of impleading in the claim petition rather than from the date of initial petition filing. For example, the judgment directs that the insurer pay interest @ 7% from the date when the claim petition was impleaded, not from the petition's filing date New India Assurance Co. Ltd. VS Savitri Devi, W/o. Late Sh. Sita Ram - Rajasthan.
Legal Precedents on Interest Calculation - Courts have consistently held that interest on compensation or liability should commence from the date of impleading or filing of the claim petition, not earlier dates such as the initial filing or other procedural dates New India Assurance Co. Ltd. VS Savitri Devi, W/o. Late Sh. Sita Ram - Rajasthan, Raj Kumar VS Anand Aggarwal Oils Pvt. Ltd. - Punjab and Haryana, New India Assurance Company Ltd VS Smith Raj V. S/o Ananthan - Kerala.
Interest on Compensation - Courts often award interest from the date of the claim petition or the date of the tribunal's order, depending on the case specifics. For example, in motor accident claims, interest is awarded from the date of the claim petition or tribunal order, at rates like 6% or 9% per annum Raj Kumar VS Anand Aggarwal Oils Pvt. Ltd. - Punjab and Haryana, Sarvat Kochak VS National Insurance Co. Ltd. - Jammu and Kashmir.
Implication for Practice - The consistent judicial stance emphasizes that the relevant date for calculating interest is the date when the claim is impleaded or filed, ensuring clarity and uniformity in awarding interest on claims and liabilities.
Analysis and Conclusion:
The prevailing legal position, supported by multiple judgments, is that interest on claims or liabilities is to be calculated from the date of impleading or filing the claim petition, not from the initial petition or other procedural dates. This approach ensures that interest accrues only after the claimant’s formal inclusion in the proceedings, aligning with principles of fairness and legal clarity.
