Supreme Court on Award of Interest (1950-2013)

Supreme Court on Award of Interest (1950–2013) is a focused compilation of Supreme Court of India judgments that define the law relating to the grant of interest in civil, contractual, and arbitral proceedings. The book traces the evolution of judicial reasoning on interest as compensatory, statutory, or equitable relief. Covering a wide range of scenarios—including pre-suit claims, pendente lite proceedings, post-decree enforcement, and arbitral awards—the volume highlights how courts balance statutory provisions, contractual terms, and principles of justice and fairness. It also addresses the Supreme Court’s interpretation of discretionary powers exercised by courts and tribunals in awarding interest. Designed for practical application, the book enables quick reference to settled principles and landmark rulings that continue to guide courts, arbitrators, and legal practitioners. Its clear organisation and extensive temporal coverage make it an indispensable resource for litigation strategy and dispute resolution practice.
