Bombay High Court Orders IndusInd Bank to Release Rs 65.68 Crore FD to Lilavati Trust

The Bombay High Court directed IndusInd Bank to release Rs 65.68 crore from a matured fixed deposit to the Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust's account at Union Bank of India. The bank had withheld the funds pending an order from the Joint Charity Commissioner due to ongoing trustee disputes. The trust agreed to provide an undertaking confirming the account's ownership and indemnifying the bank against future claims. The court ordered the bank to transfer the funds within three days of receiving the undertaking.
