P.C.:

1.

The respondent had issued an order dated 2.1.2009 attaching the petitioner's bank account No. 02272560001863 of HDFC Bank, Vile Parle Branch. This was to operate for a period of 12 months. This was extended from time to time. The final extension was ordered on 7.3.2011. Thereafter, there was no further extension. Thus, this attachment of the bank account ended on 11.3.2012. The petitioner's grievance is that despite no extension of the attachment order, the bank is not permitting the petitioner to operate the said account. It is, in this background, the petition has

2.

Mr. Kedar Dighe, the learned AGP, states on instructions that there has been no extension of attachment of the bank account of the petitioner after the last extension order came to an end on 11.3.2012. In that view of the matter, we see no reason why respondent No. 4 - Bank should not permit the petitioner to operate the bank account. The petition is disposed of accordingly.
