Transfer of interest on FD to stranger - The Bank has not ...


Court Rules Bank Must Pay Fixed Deposit to Rightful Party, Lacking Transfer Authorization Evidence to 5th Respondent.

October 22, 2021

Case Laws     Direct Taxes     HC

Transfer of interest on FD to stranger - The Bank has not produced any instructions issued either by the petitioner or any other person authorised by the petitioner to transfer the interest accrued on the fixed deposit to the 5th respondent. The Bank could not have acted on instructions of the 5th respondent, since the 5th respondent is a stranger to the contract. In view of the authoritative pronouncements of the Apex Court which have been extracted above and that of a Division Bench of this Court that the Bank owes a public duty to pay the amounts due on a fixed deposit which has matured, I am of the opinion that the writ petition is maintainable and the petitioner is entitled to the relief prayed for. - HC
