The 1^st Respondent/Bank conducted a review of the transactions and found that there were a number of debits, each in the range of Rs.1,200/- to Rs.2,000/-, that too to the personal account of the petitioner. Even though the 1^st Respondent has filed a Counter Affidavit stating these facts, the petitioner has not filed any Reply Affidavit controverting the same.
