In Brief
United Commercial Bank appealed against a High Court order that directed the bank to file an affidavit confirming no compromise had been effected where property value exceeded outstanding loan amounts. The Supreme Court found that both parties agreed the matter could proceed to the High Court without requiring the affidavit. The Court set aside the impugned order and remitted the writ petition back to the High Court for final disposal, without expressing any view on the merits. The appeal was disposed of without costs.
