HON'BLE DR. JUSTICE PUSHPENDRA SINGH BHATI

Order

07/08/2023

1. Learned counsel for the parties are in agreement that the

controversy involved in the present case is squarely covered by

the decision rendered by this Court in Kanta Sharma & Ors. Vs.

Union of India & Ors. (S.B. Civil Writ Petition

No.9062/2022) on 06.07.2023, the relevant portion of which,

reads as follows:

"4. This Court in the case of Dipesh Mishra & Ors.Vs. Union of India & Ors. (Supra) has also held that it is not the correct remedy at this stage to approach this Court in the writ jurisdiction, as there is an appropriate remedy under Section 26 of the PLMA.

5. Upon such submissions having been made, this Court is conscious of the fact that earlier orders were being passed for making representation to the liquidator by the depositors for their respective claims, but the turn of events and particularly, the judgment of this Hon'ble Court as well as the proposition under the PMLA, which includes attachment and the adjudication before the appellate Tribunal, does not call for any interference at this stage.

6. In view of the above, the present petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to take-up all their issues before the appellate Tribunal under the PMLA and also make their claim before the liquidator and such claim can be decided by the appellate Tribunal and in consequence of the same the liquidator may act strictly in accordance with law. Thereafter, if

[2023:RJ-JD:25090] (9 of 9) [CW-17858/2022]

any cause of action remains, the petitioners shall be at liberty to approach this Court again."

2. For the self same reasons, the present writ petition is

disposed of in terms of the order passed in the case of Kanta

Sharma (Supra). All pending applications also stand disposed of.
