Applicant.</p> <p>The dues of the Misc. Applicant are nothing but public money and the amount of public money recoverable from the Defendants is substantial. The statement of account annexed to the Misc. Applicant discloses the dues of the Misc. Applicant recoverable from the Defendants. The Defendants cannot escape the debt liability or the Misc. Applicant who is the custodian of public money cannot suffer loss and injury for the fault of the Learned Counsel for the Applicant Bank in the O.A./665/2016.
