IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No.987 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision: 21.1.2009. Max International ....Petitioner Versus Union of India and others ...Respondents CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr.Rakesh Bhatia, Advocate for the petitioner. RAJESH BINDAL, J. **** The prayer in the present petition is for a direction to respondents No.3 to 5 for returning the original foreign documents sent for collection to foreign country as it is alleged that the bills are pending for payment since long and had become over due. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that neither the payment against the bills sent through the bank has been collected by the bank on behalf of the petitioner nor the documents in original have been returned. The bank even filed a suit for recovery before the Debt Recovery Tribunal in the year 2002 and is charging interest on the amount taken by the petitioner from the bank in the over draft account against the documents. A request was made to the bank for returning of the documents so as to enable the petitioner to take appropriate steps for recovery of the amount from the foreign buyer in case he has not made the payment to the respondent-bank as the same is not reflected in the account of the petitioner. Though there is a delay in petitioner's approaching this Court in seeking the relief, however, still considering the same to be innocuous the respondent No.4 is directed to consider the prayer of the petitioner made vide Annexure P3 and communicate the decision thereon to the petitioner within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. C.W.P. No.987 of 2009 (O&M) -2- The petition is disposed of accordingly. (RAJESH BINDAL) 21.1.2009 JUDGE Reema
