JUDGMENT
Grievance of the petitioner bank is that the respondents are not
taking steps to revalidate the cheques which were returned by the treasury
due to the ban. It is submitted that due to the treasury ban, the validity of the
cheques had been expired and therefore the petitioner bank returned the
cheques to the 4th respondent for revalidation. It is also submitted that the
petitioner bank submitted Exts.P2 and P3 representations before the 3rd
respondent and the Honourable Chief Minister respectively. Admittedly,
the amount is due to the petitioner bank and cheques were already issued. It
is reported that the treasury ban is lifted. Hence, it is only proper for the
2nd respondent to consider the matter and re-validate the cheques or take
appropriate steps to pay off the amount to the petitioner bank as early as
possible, at any rate within 60 days from the date of receipt of copy of this
judgment.
The writ petition is disposed of as above.
