Vague and confusing facts.
If the order passed by the Court/ Tribunal is not implimented as directed, move contempt of court.

If interest is not paid as per orders of the controlling authority, send representation for the payment of the same.

If undertaking given in writing for not claiming interest, claim is weak.

What is the context in which the suggestion is sought - to comply with the direction to pay interest or deny?

The contention of the controlling authority is its order cannot be modifed or nullified merely obtaining a letter or undertaking not to claim interest is an unfair labour practice.

File an application with the Controlling Authority, and the amount could be collected by the District Collector invoking the Provisions of Revenue recovery Act.
