_________Petitioner
- Versus –
The Zonal
Manager, Indian Bank & Ors.
____________Respondents
Subject:
Strong Objection to Oral Pressure for Withdrawal of Writ Petition Pending
before Hon’ble High Court at Calcutta – Demand for Written Communication if Any
Resolution is Intended;
Sir / s,
Under instructions from and on
behalf of my client, M/s. KCS Rice Mill LLP, having it’s Registered Office at Premises
being no. 28, A L Daw Road, Budge Budge, Kolkata – 700137, District South 24
Parganas, represented by its Director Aditya Shaw, Son of Late Harilal Shaw,
residing at Premises being no. 28, A.L. Daw Road, P.S. Budge Budge, P.O. Budge
Budge, Kolkata – 700137, District South 24 Parganas, I hereby serve you with the present Legal Notice as
follows;
- That my client has instituted a Writ Petition before
the Hon’ble High Court at Calcutta against Indian Bank as well
as HDFC Bank, concerning serious grievances, inter alia:
(i) Non-separation of KCS Rice Mill LLP
from unrelated group concerns despite repeated requests;
(ii)
Unexplained transactions and
deductions from its CC and Term Loan accounts;
(iii)
Non-return of RTGS amounts remitted
by HDFC Bank to Indian Bank towards loan takeover;
(iv)
Non-release of property title deeds
of my client despite the takeover.
(v)
Freezing of accounts and unexplained
levy of charges;
- That it has come to the knowledge of my client that
officials of both Indian Bank and HDFC Bank have, through oral
communications and informal meetings, been exerting undue pressure
upon my client to withdraw the pending Writ Petition on the
purported assurance that the subject disputes will be resolved amicably.
- My client most strongly records its protest that
such oral pressurization is wholly undesirable, coercive, and legally
untenable. If either bank truly wishes to explore a resolution, the
same must be communicated formally in writing to my client, setting
out the terms and conditions clearly for consideration.
- My client categorically states that in the absence
of any written proposal/commitment, no question of withdrawing the
Writ Petition arises. On the contrary, continued attempts to compel
withdrawal without written assurances will leave my client with no
alternative but to place the entire episode before the Hon’ble High
Court at Calcutta in the pending writ proceedings, for appropriate
judicial consideration.
Therefore,
through this Legal Notice you are hereby called upon to;
(1)
Immediately desist
from exerting any form of oral or informal pressure upon my client for
withdrawal of the Writ Petition;
(2) If at all you desire to settle the disputes, communicate the
same in writing to my client within 7 (seven) days of receipt
hereof;
(3) Failing which, my client shall be constrained to bring the
present episode on record before the Hon’ble High Court in the ongoing writ
proceedings, entirely at your risk as to costs and consequences.
This is without prejudice to all
other rights and remedies of my client in law and equity, which are hereby
expressly reserved.
Thanking you,
Yours’ faithfully,
Ashok Kumar Singh,
Advocate
High Court Calcutta
