Having heard the counsel for the parties the only point to be<\/p>\n<p>considered by us in this appeal is whether the triai Court is _iL1S&#8217;t&#8217;1_f1&#8217;$i_Ci~~.in<\/p>\n<p>awarding damages of Rs. 2,00,000\/&#8211; and also awardingof   *<\/p>\n<p>18\u00b0\/o p.a.  <\/p>\n<p>7.

In the circumstances we are of oipiinion<\/p>\n<p>that the plaintiff is not entitled for damages of  <\/p>\n<p>awarded by the trial Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.
