Oriental Insurance Company Ltd. vs Smt. V. Kala Bharathi And Ors. on 29 July, 2005
Another point urged by the petitioners was that the
amount paid by them, that too under the relevant orders
passed by the High Court must be adjusted towards the
principal amount. They sought to rely upon the judgment of
this Court in Oriental Insurance Company Ltd., v. Smt. V.
Kala Bharathi . Incidentally, the said judgment was
rendered by me. After taking into account the precedents on
the subject and the amendments caused to CPC, particularly,
to sub-rules (4) and (5) of Rule 1 of Order XXI and sub-
section (3) of Section 3 of the Interest Act, 1978, it was held
that any partial payment made to the credit of an E.P., must
be adjusted towards the principal, and the balance, towards
interest.
V. Kala Bharathi & Ors vs The Oriental Ins.Co.Ltd.,Br.Chitoor on 1 April, 2014
The said judgment was carried in appeal to the
Supreme Court in V. Kala Bharathi v. Oriental Insurance
Co. Ltd., . The same was reversed by taking note of the
judgments of the Supreme Court that were rendered after the
amendment to CPC. Therefore, the said ground is no longer
available to the petitioners.
Central Bank Of India vs Ravindra And Ors on 18 October, 2001
Where a suit is filed for recovery of a specified amount
with interest and the suit is decreed, the interest from the
date of filing of the suit till the date of decree merges with the
principal amount and what becomes recoverable is the
decretal amount. That in turn will earn interest, at the rate
stipulated by the Court itself. For instance, if a suit is filed
for recovery of a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- with interest at 12%
per annum and the suit has prayed for is decreed after two
years, the decretal amount comes to Rs.1,24,000/-. If interest
on the decretal amount is awarded at the rate of 9% per
annum, such interest is to be calculated on Rs.1,24,000/-.
In the instant case, the petitioners stated that the decree
passed by this Court in O.P No. 3 of 2001 did not bring about
any qualitative change and what is executable in effect, is the
award as such. On that premise, it is pleaded that the
principal amount is Rs. 4,24,24,342/-, where as the interest
at 18% is to be calculated up to the date of decree in O.P No.3
of 2001 and at 12% per annum thereafter. The respondent,
on the other hand, pleaded that the interest up to the date of
decree in O.P No.3 of 2001 gets capitalized and merges with
the principal and a compound figure comes to be treated as
principal. They tried to draw support from the judgment of
the Supreme Court in Central Bank of Indias case
(1 supra). The record discloses that the executing Court
proceeded on the same basis and treated the compound
figure of principal of Rs. 4,24,24,342/-, and interest at 18%,
worked up to the date of decree in O.P No. 3 of 2001; as the
principal amount.
