t) Thereafter, the Applicant made representations and issued a legal notice, and also filed a complaint in C.C. No. 181 of 2024 before the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Tirunelveli. Thereafter, the 1st Defendant Bank took a "U-turn" and stated that no such proposal had been given and that a sum of Rs. 13 lakhs was still due. In the said circumstances, the Applicant filed a writ petition in W.P. (MD) No. 23821 of 2024, and on 14.10.2024, the Hon'ble Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court was pleased to direct the 1st Defendant Bank to furnish the outstanding amount as on 04.10.2024, so that the Applicant could pay the entire amount. However, the 1st Defendant Bank did not furnish the same. Nevertheless, the Applicant obtained one demand draft for Rs. 13,00,000 and another demand draft for Rs. 7,50,000 by selfcalculating the interest for the remaining period, totalling Rs.20,50,000, and presented the same to the Bank. However, the Bank did not accept them. Hence, the demand drafts were produced before the Court on 14.10.2024, and at that time, the Bank furnished the outstanding amount as Rs. 20,49,087, which was less than the amount covered by the demand drafts obtained by the Applicant.
