Learned counsel appearing for the State respondents prays that an appropriate direction may be given on the District Magistrate, Chinsurah, Hooghly. The point of maintainability to the action taken by the

Bank as pointed out by learned counsel appearing for the private respondent may very well be taken by the private respondent once it is proceeded with by the District Magistrate, Hooghly.
