Delhi HC Dismisses Landlord Appeal Against SBI

The Delhi High Court rejected a landlord's petition challenging State Bank of India, holding that a judgment cannot be re‑agitated beyond the limited scope of review under Order XLVII Rule 1 of the CPC. The court also refused post‑vacation interest under Section 34, citing the Supreme Court’s ruling in Lilly Thomas v. The decision upholds procedural boundaries and reinforces the precedent on interest denial after vacation of a decree.

Key Points
- Delhi High Court dismissed the landlord’s plea against SBI, stating that the merits of a judgment cannot be revisited beyond the narrow scope permitted by Order XLVII Rule 1 CPC.
- The court also denied the claim for post‑vacation interest under Section 34 CPC, relying on the Supreme Court’s guidance in *Lilly Thomas v.*.
- The ruling reaffirms the limits of appellate review and the approach to interest after a decree is vacated.

Implications
- Parties must respect the procedural boundaries of review; further challenges on the same merits are unlikely to succeed.
- Future cases will likely follow this precedent when assessing interest claims after decree vacation.
