and in its such affidavit, the Bank has rather, very clearly and specifically, deposed that Yes Bank/respondent No.2 has, on 06.05.2022, reported the de-tagging of the above said account of the petitioner as "fraud" and reporting has, accordingly, been done to Central Repository of Information on Large Credits (CRILC).
5. Pursuant to the above, even respondent No.1/Reserve Bank of India has deactivated the FMR Report and, consequently, the account of the petitioner is no longer ‘fraud’ and has rather been de-tagged.
6.
Learned counsel for the respondent Bank reiterates the above during course of the arguments.
7. In view of the above, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is no longer desirous of continuing with the present writ petition and the same may, accordingly, be disposed of in view of the specific averments made in the above said counter affidavit of respondent No.2/Yes Bank.
8. The petition is disposed of accordingly.
9. Needless to say, the Bank would always be at liberty to initiate fresh process, if so required and once initiated, it shall strictly be in accordance with law.
