[Writ Petition (C) No.367 of 2011]. At the time of hearing of this petition, it has been submitted that Petitioner No.1 has already filed an appeal before the Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunal at Chennai (DRAT) and the said appeal, being AIR (SA) 230/2011, is pending. In the afore-stated appeal an interim order had been passed whereby the petitioner had been directed to pay Rs.65 lakhs (Rupees sixty five lakhs) by way of pre-deposit. At that stage, Writ Petition No.367/2011 had been filed in this Court. In pursuance of an interim order passed by this Court, a sum of Rs.2 crores (Rupees two Crores) has been paid by the petitioners to the respondent-Bank and the said amount has been kept in a separate account by the respondent-Bank. As the petitioners have already paid more than Rs.65 lakhs (Rupees sixty five lakhs), we direct that the amount which has been deposited in a separate account by the respondent-Bank, shall be appropriated towards the dues of the petitioners.
