Original Judgment be kept in M.A.C.P. No. 484/1991 and copy of this judgment be kept in M.A.C.P. No. 416/1993, 111/1992, 424/1992, 266/1992, 267/1992, 265/1992, 268/1992 and 269/1992." 2. The claimants have aggrieved as the opponent Nos. 3 and 4 have been held liable to pay interest @ 9% p.a. The question is of indemnification. The liability of the insurance company has been accepted by the insurance company as they have not raised or filed any appeal. It is an admitted position, which emerges from the record that opponent No. 5's name was never given by opponent Nos. 3 and 4, as belatedly also they chose not to appear. It was much later that it came to be known to the claimants that the vehicle driven and owned by opponent Nos. 3 and 4 was insured by National Insurance Company Ltd. This High Court in case of Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd., V/s. Aminaben Rahimbhai Kadiwala & Ors. Reported in 2001 (2) G.L.R. 1108 has held that it is a question of indemnification and therefore, the insurer cannot deny its liability to pay interest. 3. It is vehemently submitted by Mr. Mehta, learned advocate for respondent No. 5, that these appeals are filed only for the interest and therefore, after 2003, there cannot be any order for interest. The said submission is accepted. It is further submitted that the decision of Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd., V/s. Aminaben Rahimbhai Kadiwala & Ors. Reported in 2001 (2) G.L.R. 1108 would not apply to the facts of these cases. However, I am unable to accept the submission of Mr. Mehta, learned advocate for the respondent No. 5. 4. In these cases, the insurance company has not denied its liability. On the contrary it is the judicial pronouncement which has caused the injustice. Had the learned Judge referred to the case of Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd., V/s. Aminaben Rahimbhai Kadiwala & Ors. Reported in 2001 (2) G.L.R. 1108 then in that case, the learned Judge might not gave such finding. Hence, the said finding is quashed and set aside. The respondent No. 5 insurance company herein is directed to deposit the amount of interest from the date of claim petition filed till 2003 as it has accrued on it and not beyond that. 5. The appeals are partly allowed. The decree shall modify to the aforesaid extent. Hence, the said finding is quashed and set aside. The respondent No. 5 insurance company herein is directed to deposit the amount of interest from the date of claim petition filed till 2003 as it has accrued on it and not beyond that. 5. The appeals are partly allowed. The decree shall modify to the aforesaid extent. The amount of interest, which has accrued from 1992 till they were joined will be worked-out and deposited within 12 weeks from today. R. & P., if lying here, be sent back forthwith. Office is directed to place copy of this judgment in each matter.
