O R D E R

% 12.01.2018 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that since his accounts with respondent no.2 have now been de-freezed, he is not pressing his reliefs against the respondent no.1. He, however, submits that in view of the fact that he was unable to use the money in his accounts, which were illegally frozen, the interest of about Rs.46 lacs charged by the Bank in respect of Account No.916030028555174 ought to be waived. He submits that the petitioner has already submitted a detailed representation to the respondent no.3/Bank on 16th December, 2017.

Learned counsel for the respondent nos.3 & 4 fairly submits that the said representation will be considered sympathetically

keeping in view the fact that the petitioner has not used the money from his account during the period when it was frozen. He assures the Court that a reasoned order would be passed within four weeks from today, by giving a personal hearing to the authorised representative of the petitioner/Company.

In view of the aforesaid statement made by learned counsel for the respondent nos. 3 & 4, Mr.Mukesh Anand does not press this petition and prays that the petition be disposed off with a direction to the respondent nos.3 & 4 to decide the petitioner's representation in the above terms. The respondent nos. 3 & 4 are accordingly directed to decide the petitioner's representation within four weeks by giving a personal haring to the authorised representation of the petitioner/company.

The petition is disposed of in the above terms. Needless to say that if the petitioner is still aggrieved, he will be entitled to take legal recourse as per law. REKHA PALLI, J JANUARY 12, 2018/aa
