Bank Of India vs M\/S. Gopi Chand Jain & Sons & Ors. on 22 February, 2000<\/div>\n
Equivalent citations: 2000 VAD Delhi 681, 2000 (2) ARBLR 440 Delhi, 85 (2000) DLT 730, (2000) 126 PLR 4<\/div>\n
Bench: A . A.S., C Joseph<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/pre>\n
ORDER<\/p>\n
1.     This appeal is against an order dated 9th September, 1999.\n<\/p>\n
2.   Briefly stated the facts are as follows:\n<\/p>\n
     On 3rd January, 1994 appellant Bank had instituted a suit for recovery of a sum of Rs. 5,55,761.71. Respondent No.4 is one of the partners. He had admitted  the  liability of the partnership firm and paid the  entire  suit amount  of Rs.5,55,761.71. This amount was paid on 4th August,  1997.  Thus after  this  date the plaintiff’s only claim, which was  pending,  was  for pendente lite interest on the suit amount.\n<\/p>\n
3.   In  the normal course as is happening today the suit would  have  been remained pending for the next 10 years. Defendant on his own makes an  oral application that he would pay the simple interest @ 12% per annum. On  19th February,  1998  he was directed to deposit at rate of 12%  per  annum.  It appears that respondent No.3 went to the plaintiff Bank to pay the  amount. The plaintiff Bank refused to accept the amount.\n<\/p>\n
4.   Thereafter  the suit was adjourned on number of occasions in order  to enable the parties to settle the matter. However, no settlement was arrived at.  Finally the suit reached hearing on 9th September, 1999.  The  learned Single  Judge  has exercised his discretion under Section 34 of  the  Civil Procedure  Code. The learned Single Judge has held that the  defendant  has honestly  paid up the principal amount and is willing to pay pendente  lite interest  @ 12% per annum. The learned Single Judge has thus accepted  this offer  and directed pendente lite interest @ 12% per annum from 3rd,  Janu-ary, 1994 to 4th August, 1994 i.e. that date on which the principal  amount has  been deposited. If that amount was not paid then interest was to be  @ 18% per annum.\n<\/p>\n
5.   Before  us  it  is urged that the appellant Bank is  entitled  to  the contractual rate of interest. It must be mentioned that contractual rate of interest  is 18% compounded with quarterly rests. Reliance has been  placed on case of Corporation Bank Vs. D.S. Gowda and Another, . In this case the  Supreme Court was considering the provision of Sections 21A of the Banking  Regulation  Act, 1949. In that context Supreme Court has held that by  virtue  of this  provision  the Court cannot interfere with the  contractual  rate  of
\ninterest  on the ground that the rate of interest charged is  excessive  or unreasonable.  Relying on this it is urged that there was no discretion  in the  learned  Single  Judge to grant interest at any rate  other  than  the contractual rate.\n<\/p>\n
6.   We  are unable to accept the submission of the appellant. The case  of Corporation  Bank  does  not deal with Section 34 of the  CPC  which  gives discretion  to the Court to grant such rate of interest as the Court  feels just  and proper. The authority merely lays down that the Court cannot  set aside the contractual rate on the ground that is is excessive or unreasonable. In this case the Court has not set aside contractual rate of  interest on ground that it is excessive or unreasonable. The Court has exercised its discretion in respect of pendente lite interest considering the facts.  The defendant  has  not  used laws delays. The defendant has  paid  the  entire principal amount with a reasonable rate of interest. It must be noted  that now-a-days litigation takes a number of years. In most cases parties do not pay  the dues of the Banks. They take up some defense or the other and  use
\nlaws  delay. Ultimately in many cases the Banks are forced to settle  at  a lower  rate or for a lower amount. Yet when a partly honestly pays  up  the amount with a reasonable rate of interest the Bank insists on its pounds of
\nflesh.\n<\/p>\n
7.   The  Supreme Court in the case of N.M. Veerappa Vs. Canara  Bank,    has  considered amongst  other, the Corporation Bank’s case (supra). The Supreme Court  has held  that Section 21A of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 does  not  over-\n<\/p>\n
ride Central Legislation like the CPC. It has been held that the discretion of  the  Court to decide at what rate of pendente lite interest  is  to  be granted has not been affected.\n<\/p>\n
8.   In our view, the order of the learned Single Judge is just,  equitable and correct. it requires no interference at all.\n<\/p>\n
9.   It  is next urged that the respondents have not been directed  to  pay cost  to the appellant Bank. It is urged that there is no mention of  costs and  thus  obviously there is n error. It is settled law that  cost  is  a matter  of discretion of Court. It is not a matter of right. The fact  that the  learned  Single Judge has not mentioned about cost means that  he  has exercised  the discretion against the appellant Bank. We see no  reason  to interfere in that behalf also.\n<\/p>\n
10.  It  is  admitted that the entire principal amount with interest  @  12 p.a. has been received. The appellant Bank is directed to return the  title deeds within two weeks from today.\n<\/p>\n
     The appeal stands dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
     Let copy of this order be given Dasti.\n<\/p>\n
11.     Appeal dismissed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
