Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals filed by the Union of India under Article 136 of the Constitution, affirming the High Court's decision in Civil Revision Case No. 6189/2001 regarding the payment of interest over interest. The Court held that the legality of such interest payments is a matter for the appellate court, which is currently adjudicating Civil Appeal No. 31/2001. The Court emphasized that all questions raised by the Union of India can be addressed in the pending appeal, directing the appellate court to resolve the matter within six months without unnecessary delays.
