1971 (9) TMI 159 - SC - VAT and Sales TaxWhether High Court erred in awarding interest on the principal amount claimed from the date of the suit? Held that:- Appeal dismissed. High Court rightly exercised that discretion. It disallowed the interest claimed by the plaintiff-respondent up till the date of the suit. Before instituting the suit, the respondent had issued a notice to the appellant, calling upon the appellant to pay the money illegally collected from it; but despite that notice, the appellant failed to pay back the amount illegally collected from the respondent. That being so, in our opinion, the High Court was justified in awarding interest on the principal amount from the date of the suit.
