3. On that aspect of the matter the learned single Judge noticed that the compensation due under the statute had not been paid within one month from the date of accident and therefore appellant was liable to pay penalty and interest from the date the amount became due and payable which meant the date of accident or at the latest one month thereafter. Therefore, the liability of the appellant being evident in those circumstances, the learned Single Judge declined to interfere with the order under appeal. The matter was carried in appeal further to the Division Bench and that appeal was dismissed holding that it was not maintainable in view of the decision in Smt.Chhaya Rani v. Smt. Dhan Devi 1997(2) All PLR 147.
