As per case facts, a company sought to enforce an arbitral award, but the payment was delayed due to disputes over interest and the deposit of funds in the court.
...The judgment debtor argued that they should not pay interest for the period when the funds were already available in court but not accessed by the other party. The question arose when the "interest clock" should stop running—specifically, if the creditor’s own delay in collecting the money should stop interest accumulation. Finally, the High Court ruled that the interest clock stopped once the funds were deposited because the delay in release was attributable to the decree holder’s own actions. The court ordered a revised calculation of the remaining dues and the return of any excess balance to the debtor.
