Summary
The Supreme Court corrected its earlier direction to transfer a deposited sum with accrued interest after the Registry reported that the money was held in a non-interest-bearing account. It deleted the reference to accrued interest and directed transfer of the principal Rs 11,20,000 to the respondent within two weeks.
Issues
- Whether the earlier transfer direction required correction because the deposit had earned no interest.
Held
- The Office Report established that the Rs 11,20,000 deposit lay in a non-interest-earning bank account. The reference to accrued interest in paragraph 22 of the judgment of 10 February 2021 was therefore deleted. (¶ Order)
- The Registry was directed to transfer Rs 11,20,000 to the respondent within two weeks of this order. (¶ Order)
Result
Miscellaneous application disposed of with correction of the interest reference and a direction to transfer the principal within two weeks.
