It is informed that respondent No.4, the brother of the petitioner is no more thus nothing survives for adjudication in the matter.

The fund is lying with the Bank as per the order passed by this Court on 16.03.2022.

The respondent-Bank after verification of those bills is directed to transfer the amount to the hospital 3 directly. 4.
