Sham Mohan Lal Vs. Jai Gopal and anr.

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Apr-19-1967

Reported in: AIR1968Delhi104

(1) Arguments in this appeal were first heard in November 1966, when it was adjourned so as to enable the parties to come to amicable settlement. The respondent's learned counsel had, it may be pointed out, taken strong objection to the competency of the appeal and has also urged that the decisions of the court's below having done substantial justice between the parties, this court should decline interference on revision as well. After some time, I was informed that there was little prospect of an agreed solution. The appeal was thus directed to be set down for re-hearing. It is in these circumstances that this appeal has now been fully heard. The respondents' counsel has, however, nto appeared on this occasion and, thereforee, has nto addressed any arguments despite the case being on the board. (2) Turning to the facts, Jai Gopal (respondent in this court) secured a decree against Kanwar Gopal for the recovery of Rs. 1,200 with interest at 12 per cent per annum from 19-12-1957 till pa...
