2.The petitioner claims that on 27.09.2024, while transferring a sum of Rs.1,50,000/-, he has inadvertently mentioned the Account number 05 instead of 07 and therefore, the amount has been transferred to some un-authorized account.

The petitioner with a grievance that the private bank has not transferred the amount, has lodged a complaint before the second 2/4

respondent and filed this petition seeking direction to the second respondent to take action on his complaint.
