Unitech Limied vs Telangana State Industrial ... on 17 February, 2021

(2002) 1 SCC 367 16 Oriental Kuries Ltd. v. Lissa, (2019) 19 SCC 732; Bhubaneshwar Development Authority v. Susanta Kumar Mishra, (2009) 4 SCC 684 17 (1987) 2 SCC 424 40 PART E “5…“The question whether a particular stipulation in a contractual agreement is in the nature of a penalty has to be determined by the court against the background of various relevant factors, such as the character of the transaction and its special nature, if any, the relative situation of the parties, the rights and obligations accruing from such a transaction under the general law and the intention of the parties in incorporating in the contract the particular stipulation which is contended to be penal in nature. If on such a comprehensive consideration, the court finds that the real purpose for which the stipulation was incorporated in the contract was that by reason of its burdensome or oppressive character it may operate in terrorem over the promiser so as to drive him to fulfil the contract,, then the provision will be held to be one by way of penalty.” Therefore, considering the position of Unitech-which knowingly entered into the Development Agreement with full knowledge of the pending litigation and with an intention to continue with the project after a delay of over seven years, up until a decision by this Court, we find that the interest rate is payable to Unitech, without compounding.

M.A.Shabu vs Brd Finance Limited on 21 May, 2024

4. A perusal of the impugned order would show that the maintainability has been challenged by the petitioner before the trial court only on the ground that the suit is not of commercial nature. As per Section 2 (c)(i) of the Commercial Courts Act, ordinary transactions of merchants, bankers, financiers and traders are treated as commercial in nature. The Supreme Court in Oriental Kuries Ltd v. Lissa (2019 (4) KLJ 878) held that there is a contractual obligation between the foreman and subscriber of a chitty. Hence, the same creates a debt on the date of subscription. So, if the subscriber fails to pay the instalments, the foreman is entitled to recover the consolidated chit amount including the future subscription of the defaulting subscriber. Therefore, as rightly held by the trial court, the foreman of the chit has to be termed as financier and hence, the dispute is commercial in nature.
