2. The brief facts of the case are that the petitioner is a Limited Liability Partnership firm, having its registered number (LLPIN:AAN- 6922) at Registrar of Companies, Hyderabad, and is into the business of real- estate, renting, selling of Furniture Items, and it is having its bank account with respondent No.2. During the course of its business, on 02.07.2025 the petitioner firm has erroneously transferred an amount of Rs.40,00,000/- (Rupees Forty Lakhs only) through RTGS vide UTR/RTGS No. HDFCR52025070286777350 to the bank account of respondent No.6 herein having account No.20100043757524. After completing the said transaction, the petitioner immediately realised that it has given an inaccurate account number in the RTGS Payment and the amount has been transferred into a wrong account, therefore, the petitioner has sent a letter on the same day i.e., 02.07.2025 to respondent No.2 seeking refund of RTGS transaction of Rs. 40,00,000/-, and in the said letter the petitioner has specifically stated that there was an erroneous transaction which has been processed into the account of in-correct beneficiary account number i.e., respondent No.6 and requested respondent No.2 to refund the erroneous funding received through RTGS payment. It is further submitted that respondent No.6 has addressed a letter to respondent No.5 stating that a wrong payment has been credited to their account bearing No.20100043757524 Dt.02.07.2025 for an amount of Rs.40,00,000/- and they have no objection to remit back the amount to the account holder (Petitioner firm account) as the amount was wrongly credited, but respondent No.5 has not taken steps for remitting back the amount. Hence, this writ petition.

3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner raised objection stating that after six months of holding the amount, the respondent bank has remitted the entire amount to the petitioner account without payment of any interest.

4. In view of the above, this writ petition is disposed of leaving it open to the petitioner to avail remedies in accordance with law in so far as interest is concerned. There shall be no order as to costs.

Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed.
