JAYANT PATEL
INDIAN BANK – Appellant
Versus
ALLTUNE ELECTRONICS PVT LTD – Respondent
The short facts of the case appear to be that the petitioner Bank preferred O.A. No.107 of 1995 against the respondent for recovery of the amount of Rs.93,10,429.33 with the running interest until realisation. The Tribunal tried the O.A. And ultimately found that in the Books of Accounts of the Bank the amount shown outstanding was only Rs.47,79,906.33 and as the interest was not charged after 1.7.1992 to 25.9.1995, the Bank was not entitled to claim interest during the said period. Therefore, the Tribunal decreed the application to the extent of Rs.47,79,906.33 with the interest at the rate of 21.75% per annum for the period from 25.5.1995 i.e. the date of the application till the realisation of the amount and the cost. The petitioner Bank carried the matter in appeal before DRAT in Appeal No.182 of 1997. The appellate Bench fund that the Tribunal Committed error in not awarding the interest as per the contractual rate of interest of 21.75% per annum for the period from 1.7.1992 to 25.9.1995. Therefore, partly allowed the appeal by ordering the amount of Rs.82,90,797.33 in place of Rs.47,79,906.33 recoverable and the order for interest at the rate of 21.75% per annum
