Sec/Gen.Mgr.Chennai ... vs S.Kamalaveni Sundaram

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of interest on arrears of rent, determining that the Madras High Court was justified in awarding interest at 12% per annum from September 9, 1998, to March 24, 2008, under the provisions of the Transfer of Property Act. The Court held that the tenant's obligation to pay rent continued despite the defects in the plaint, and the High Court's decision to adjust the interest rate post-decree was appropriate. The outcome affirmed the High Court's ruling on interest while clarifying the tenant's liability for the arrears.
