Court on 26.03.2020, an Application was filed in the Hon ble Supreme Court seeking clarification to the same effect that the order does not prohibit keeping the account in the fixed deposits which Application was rejected. Since Applications are already fixed on 24.02.2022 for consideration of the interim distribution and appropriation, we see no necessity to direct that the amount to be kept in the fixed deposits in a Nationalised Bank.

Reply to Application I.A No. 2404 of 2021 has been filed by both Canara Bank and Union Bank of India. Shri Dhruv Mehta, Learned Senior Counsel for the Canara Bank submitted that the Canara Bank was not heard when the interim order was passed on 01.12.2021.

As noticed above, after the judgment of the Hon ble Supreme Court on 26.03.2020, an Application was filed in the Hon ble Supreme Court seeking clarification to the same effect that the order does not prohibit keeping the account in the fixed deposits which Application was rejected. 12. Be that as it may, from the materials on the record, it does appear that it is a debt amount of 80% which has been directed to be deposited by the Respondent. 13. Shri Ramji Srinivasan, Learned Senior Counsel submitted that the Union has already filed an Application for interim distribution of the amounts lying in the different accounts. There are other Applications filed by the other Claimants including Banks for appropriation some of which Applications have already fixed on 24.02.2022. 14. We, thus, are of the view that since Applications are already fixed on 24.02.2022 for consideration of the interim distribution and appropriation, we see no necessity to direct that the amount to be kept in the fixed deposits in a Nationalised Bank.
