E.K. ANDREW vs STATE BANK OF INDIA . — SLP(C) No. 21200 - 21201/2005

Summary: On 24/04/2006, the Supreme Court dismissed E.K. Andrew's special leave petitions challenging the Kerala High Court's judgment. The petitioner had contended that the High Court should have awarded penal interest on outstanding dues, but the Court found this was within the High Court's discretionary jurisdiction. Since the High Court had considered all aspects and granted 9% interest in the petitioner's favor, the Supreme Court held it was not a fit case to exercise jurisdiction under Article 136 of the Constitution. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
