Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Sep-11-2008

Reported in: (2009)1CALLT146(HC)

Sanjib Banerjee, J.1. These matters have seen more than the fair share of confusion that is associated with execution proceedings. Between the judgment-debtors' attempt to depress figures and the decree-holder financier's insatiable craving for interest, there is the understandable yawning gap between what is claimed to be due by the decree-holder and the refund claimed by the judgment-debtors. But the disarray in both ranks, the disagreement between the two sides on the interpretation of a simple mistaken reference in the consent terms and the inexplicable confusion over documents and dates leading to waste of court time have been the avoidable impediments.2. Arbitration references made in respect of two hire purchase agreements of July 23, 1999 and February 24, 2001 were disposed of by terms of settlement filed before the arbitral tribunal on December 12, 2003. Under the agreement of 1999 the decree-holder had financed an excavator and under the agreement of 2001 the decree-holder ha...
