BEFORE:

The Hon'ble JUSTICE MOUSHUMI BHATTACHARYA Date : July 26, 2022 Appearance:

Mr. Probal Mukherjee, Sr. Adv.

Mr. S. Naskar, Adv.

The Court : Since this Court is of the view that the writ petition is not maintainable in its present form and that the HDFC Bank which is the respondent against which the relief is sought does not perform any public functions, the petitioners are given liberty to approach the Banking Ombudsman within seven days from today.

WPO No. 2179 of 2022 is disposed of in terms of the above. Since affidavits are not called for, the allegations made in the writ petition are deemed not to have been admitted. (MOUSHUMI BHATTACHARYA, J.) sg.
