Even though
various other judgments of various High Courts and the
various Tribunals was brought to my notice awarding 15%
interest, in view of the directions contained in the judgment of
the Apex Court in Commissioner of Central Excise v. ITC Ltd.
(supra) rate of interest is to be confined to 12%. I am also
bound to follow the same. Therefore the interest that is liable
to be paid by the respondents as per the directions of this
Court in Ext. P12 judgment is fixed at 12% per annum.
