Jaswinder Singh Sohal vs Indian Bank & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the delay in depositing Rs.80 lakhs, which was a condition for hearing the appeal before the Debts Recovery Appellate Tribunal, should be condoned as the entire amount has now been deposited. The Court emphasized the importance of ensuring that the appeal is restored to its original number and heard expeditiously, despite the initial dismissal due to non-compliance with the deposit requirement. The appeal was thus disposed of with directions for prompt hearing.
