Incumbent” 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he is challenging the wrongful inaction of the respondent No.1 whereby respondent No. 01 is crediting the quarterly interest amount to the Joint Account of the Petitioner and Respondent No. 02 having Account No. 20062018417, arising out of the fixed deposit amounting of the Rs. 25,00,000/- which Petitioner has deposited on 15/05/2023 in the Hospital Brach of State Bank of India (Respondent No. 01) as a fixed deposit for the period of 2 years having FD Account No. 41918459548. It is pertinent to mention here that despite the several requests made by the Petitioner to the Respondent No. 01 to credit the interest amount to the other 3 savings account of the Petitioner having Account No. 30486958444 and also to deposit the FD amount of Rs. 25,00,000/- to the savings account of the Petitioner once it gets matured on 15/05/2025, having, the Respondent No. 01 has not considered the requests of the Petitioner and continued to deposit the amount to the joint Account of the Petitioner and the Respondent No. 02 having Account No. 20062018417, which amounts to the unfair banking practice to disregard the lawful demand of the account holder. Hence the Petition. 3. On the other hand, learned counsel for respondent No. 1 opposes the same. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the application filed by the petitioner be considered by the bank and necessary orders may be passed by the concerned Bank. 6. With this observation, the writ petition is disposed of. SD/- (Amitendra Kishore Prasad) Judge Raghu Jat
