Interest on compensation

(Querist) 20 July 2015 This query is : Resolved 
Sir the court has awarded compensation in a cheque bounce case to me but accused failed to compensate.Now can I file execution petition to recover it with interest @ 18% per annum from accused?

Dear friend
If you have filed a case before the civil court then your opposite party need to be addressed as defendant and not the accused person.
Now if you have got a decree from the civil court then you will have to get your decree executed for sure.

You can proceed to file execution for the decree in your favor.

As it is a cheque bounced case, I presume u had filed criminal case and obtained order for compensation. If the accused failed to pay the compensation amount, u may file contempt application before the magistrate's court which passed the order.

Was it a civil suit or a criminal complaint?

Sir can interest be demanded on compensation amount or not?

No interest can be claimed in the compensation until and unless it is specifically mentioned in the judgement.
