Failure to frame or decide a counterclaim and use of an unstamped document nullified the trial judgment; retrial ordered.
Civil procedure — counterclaim treated as cross-suit — courts must frame issues covering both suit and counterclaim; failure to do so vitiates judgment. Evidence — documentary evidence must be cleared and read; unstamped instruments inadmissible under the Stamp Duty Act. Banking/microfinance — lack of licence affects remedies but does not necessarily absolve borrower of principal repayment. Interest — commercial interest and court rate governed by Order XX Rule 21. Conflict of interest — allegation against witness must be proved to disqualify testimony.
