DEFENDANTS Ms. S. T. Shaikh with Aarti Sawant i/b S.K. Srivastav & Co. for the plaintiffs CORAM:SMT. RANJANA DESAI,J. DATED: 2/8/2011 P.C. On 21/9/2007 Suit No. 4631 of 1996 was decreed ex parte in terms of prayer clauses (a) to (c) of the plaint. Prayer clause (c) of the plaint reads thus: “(c) that the Defendant No. 1 be restrained by a permanent order and injunction of this Hon’ble Court from appropriating the amount of Rs. 8,28,856/- received from the Defendant No. 2 2 mss S4631 towards the said guarantee, Exhibit G-1 and be further directed by a mandatory order and direction to repay the said sum of Rs.8,28,856/- to the Defendant No. 2 with interest as this Hon’ble Court deems fit.” 2. Thus the rate of interest was to be fixed as per this prayer clause (c) by the court. Inadvertently though prayer clause (c) was granted the rate of interest was not fixed by me, hence the matter is moved in Chamber today. 3. I have heard learned counsel for the plaintiffs. 4. In the aforesaid circumstances it is clarified that the plaintiffs shall be entitled to interest @ 6% p.a. from the date of decree till payment. (SMT. RANJANA DESAI, J.)
