DECISION WITH REASONS

          All the points are taken up together for the sake of convenience and brevity of discussion.

          In our view the case is maintainable according to the present form of the C.P. Act, 1986.

          The cause of action arose on 08.12.2015 while the petitioner filed an application to the Branch Manager, ATIL Malda Branch to inform her the status of the deposited cheques in the office of ATIL, Malda Branch and the petitioner filed the instant case on 16.03.2016 within the period of two years .

          The petitioner deposited money in the MIS Scheme and received certificate. ATIL Malda Branch issued five cheques in favour of the petitioner after maturity of the Certificates but those cheques were returned on the above referred ground. The petitioner deposited said five cheques for RTGS for payment. In spite of that the ATIL Malda Branch did not take any step. Under the compelling circumstances filed an application to the Manager, ATIL Malda Branch. No response got from the Manager of the said branch. For this reason there is sheer negligence and deficiency in service on the part of the O.Ps and the petitioner is entitled to get all the reliefs as prayed for.

          All the points are decided in favour of the petitioner.

           Complainant case is succeeded

          Proper fee paid.
