INDER PARSHAD vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the agreement between the bank and the borrower did not stipulate the payment of compound interest or interest with periodical rests, thus making the bank's claim unenforceable. The Court noted that the observations regarding farmers' income and the Reserve Bank of India's policy circulars were obiter dicta and did not influence the final decision. Consequently, the petition was dismissed as the agreement did not support the bank's claim for compound interest.
