Case History
Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 2479/2000 Syndicate Bank, Chennai v. M/S. Mohan Brothers & Ors. On 06/03/2002, the Supreme Court heard this debt recovery appeal concerning whether contractual interest rates apply to commercial transactions. The Court found that a Constitutional Bench decision (Central Bank of India v. Ravindra) had overlooked the proviso to Section 34(1) CPC, which specifically permits interest exceeding 6% per annum in commercial transactions up to the contractual rate. Accordingly, the Court directed that the case be heard by a larger Bench to properly interpret Section 34(1) CPC's proviso and ensure no conflicting observations with the Central Bank precedent, with papers referred to the Chief Justice for appropriate orders. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
