The decree provided payment of interest on the decretal amount and the decretal amount included principal and interest due up to the date of filing of the suit.\n<\/p>\n<p>(2) In execution, an objection is being raised on behalf of the appellant, who is a judgment-debtor that interest is payable on the principal amount and not on the amount, principal plus interest, which was the basis of the suit, on which the Court awarded interest. The argument raised is that the decree, which allowed interest on the amount of interest, due up to the date of filing of the suit, should be treated as a nullity, being contrary to the provisions of Section 34 of the Code of Civil Procedure and in execution proceedings, the judgment-debtor should be allowed to raise this objection and necessary relief should be granted.\n<\/p>\n<p>(3) Firstly, such an objection cannot be raised in execution proceedings because the executing court cannot go beyond the decree and if the decree granted by the trial court is erroneous, the matter should have been agitated in appeal from the decree. The judgment-debtor had taken the matter up to the Supreme Court under the decree proceedings and this decree has been .upheld by the Supreme Court, yet at the execution stage the appellant wants to have the decree of the Supreme Court ignored on the plea that it is nullity. On the peculiar facts of this case, we do not agree with the contention that the decree is nullity to the extent that it awards interest on interest on the principal sum due up to to the date of filing of the suit.\n<\/p>\n<p>(4) The appeal is dismissed in liming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi High Court Foremost Industries India Ltd. vs Ram Swamp Khattar on 14 February, 1992 Equivalent citations: AIR 1993 Delhi 84, I (1992) BC 341, 1992 (22) DRJ 558, 1992 RLR 123 Author: G C Mital Bench: G Mittal, S Pal JUDGMENT Gokal Chand Mital, C.J.
