Punjab and Haryana High Court Orders Execution Funds to Be Deposited in Interest-Bearing Fixed Deposits
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has directed executing courts in Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh to deposit all funds received in execution proceedings into interest-bearing fixed deposits with nationalised banks instead of keeping them idle. Issued by Justice Pankaj Jain during a civil revision petition, the order aims to prevent litigants from losing interest on money held by courts. The fixed deposits should be transferred to entitled parties, who may withdraw the interest or continue the deposit. The court referenced a Supreme Court judgment mandating similar guidelines nationwide.
