JUSTICE J.M. MALIK 1. Mr. Ashok Kumar Sinha, an Advocate, deposited a sum of Rs.30,000/- with the OP, HDFC Bank Ltd for a period of 12 months, 15 days. On 07.03.2008 it stood matured with the maturity value of Rs.32,745.07. The case of the complainant is that it was reinvested for another term, 12 months, 15 days which also matured with the value of Rs.36,009.76 on 23.03.2009. This may be mentioned here that this is the main disputed fact. The case of the complainant further continues that he was in urgent need of money. He asked the Bank to pay him the maturity amount and sent the FDR to the OP by courier. The OP did not respond. The complainant was left with no option but to file a complaint before the District Forum. 2. The OP did not appear before the District Forum, as such they were proceeded against ex-parte. The learned District Forum allowed the complaint with a direction to the OP to pay a sum of Rs.36,009.75 to the complainant with interest @ 9.25% p.a. from the date of maturity within one month from the date of the order along with compensation in the sum of Rs.6,000/- and litigation costs of Rs.2,000/-. Aggrieved by that order, OP preferred an appeal before the State Commission. The State Commission dismissed the appeal. 3. Then the OP, HDFC Bank Ltd., filed the instant revision petition. Our attention was invited to the following facts. In the appeal filed before the State Commission, it was specifically mentioned as under :- . On 8th March, 2008, the fixed deposit receipt was deposited by the respondent in the branch office at Salt Lake (where the respondent had a Savings Bank Account with HDFC Bank Ltd.) with instructions to credit the matured amount of the said fixed deposit in the aid accountof the respondent bearing No.0018000040142 maintained with Salt Lake Branch of HDFC Bank Ltd.

The photocopy of the documents has been produced on the record which bears an endorsement, lease break the FD Amount & credit it to the a/c 00181000040142 Sd/- Ashoke Kumar Sinha. which purports to have been signed by Ashok Kumar Sinha.

However, he admitted that the above said bank account No. 00181000040142 belongs to him. The statement of the Bank account has been filed before us.

It is thus clear that an amount of Rs.32,475.07 was credited into the account of the complainant. When the statement was confronted with the complainant, he could not recall anything. He argued that a senior counsel was dealing with this case and he was not aware of this document. It, therefore, appears that the complainant has filed a false complaint. This is a very serious matter. But keeping in view the old age of the complainant, we refrain from imposing any cost upon the respondent. The revision petition is accepted. The orders passed by both the foras below are hereby set aside and complaint is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs.
