1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Satyendra Nath Tiwari, learned counsel for the respondents no.1 and 2.
2. The present petition has been filed claiming following relief:-
"Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent authorities to pay the father's account money to the petitioner (Nominee)."
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is nominee of his father, namely, Ram Sajeevan, who was having an account in the respondent bank but since the pet name of the petitioner has been put on the nomination form, the bank is not releasing amount in favour of the petitioner. Hence, this writ petition.
4. Per contra, learned counsel appearing for the bank submits that the petitioner, in the given facts of the case, has to ensure compliance of certain steps and only then the bank can adhere to his request as regards withdrawal of sums lying in the account of the deceased.
5. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, we are of the view that the bank authorities are required to intimate to the petitioner the procedure to be followed for withdrawal of money.
6. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent no.2 to inform the petitioner, in writing within a
period of ten days from today, of the procedure to be followed and on completion of such procedure, the amount may be released in favour of the nominee.
