In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh RSA No.2615 of 2007(O&M) Date of Decision: 15.10.2008 Charan Singh ...... Appellant Versus Rampal Singh ...... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr.N.S.Shekhawat, Advocate for the appellant. **** Ajay Tewari, J.(Oral) This appeal has been filed by the defendant against whom a decree for recovery of money has been passed, proposing the following substantial questions of law:- i) Whether the impugned judgments, which are based on misreading of evidence, are legally sustainable? ii)Whether the First Appellate Court is justified in awarding the interest, even though admittedly there was no writing to that effect? iii)Whether grave and manifest injustice has been caused to the petitioner? In my opinion, questions No.(i) and (iii) are pure questions of fact. As far as question No.(ii) is concerned, there is no error in the RSA No.2615 of 2007(O&M) -2- judgments of the Courts below awarding 6% interest even if there may not have been any writing to that effect, since it is clear that the appellant has retained the money of the respondent unauthorisedly. In this view of the matter, this appeal is dismissed, however, with no order as to costs. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE October 15, 2008 sunita
