MONIKA CHOPRA Vs. UNION OF INDIA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) -This writ petition has been filed against the I.C.I.C.I. Bank Limited, for the purpose of getting an appropriate order as against the claim of such Bank and also certiorari quashing the seizure memo dated 24th March, 2007 issued by the respondent No. 3. Before entertaining the writ petition we are of the view that we have to ascertain whether the writ can lie against the private Bank or not. We have been fortified with the judgment in Federal Bank Ltd. v. Sagar Thomas and others, (2003) 10 SCC 733, wherein it has been categorically held as :

(2.) THEREFORE, according to us writ cannot lie against the private Bank in the manner as proposed by this Court.

(3.) THEREFORE, the writ petitions stands dismissed.
