Court
summons Indian Bank chief on NRI complaint.
Bank refused to repay
two NRIs fixed deposits worth Rs.720 million
New Delhi, Feb 21, 2005
A Delhi court has summoned Indian Bank chairman B.N.
Rao and four chief managers on a complaint that the
bank refused to repay two non-resident external (NRE)
fixed deposits worth Rs.720 million ($16 million).
The accused - Delhi circle general manager S.K. Virmani,
ARM branch chief manager Y.P. Kohli and two other chief
managers along with chairman Rao - have been summoned
Aug 5.
Metropolitan magistrate S.K. Sharma said: "In
view of the statement of the non-resident Indian (NRI)
complainant and the documents placed on record, there
is sufficient material for summoning them."
Complainant Mohan Murti Shandilya, an NRI in Russia,
through his counsel Karan Singh, said the bank had approached
him for NRE fixed deposits of Rs.55 million ($1 million)
and Rs.33 million on a re-investment basis for a five-year
term but failed to pay on maturity.
Singh submitted that the Reserve Bank of India had
directed the Indian Bank in 1997 to pay the complainant
but the order was disobeyed. IANS
