Karnataka High Court Orders Bank to Refund ₹3.25 Lakh
Nujaiba Jaleel accidentally sent ₹3.25 lakh to the wrong bank account.
The account belonged to a firm whose owner could not be found.
Because she could not get the money back, she went to court.
Her legal fight lasted seven months.
The Karnataka High Court partly accepted her request.
The court told the bank to put the money back into her account.
The bank must do this quickly, within three days of receiving the court order.
Justice C. M. Poonacha issued the direction.
The Karnataka High Court directed a bank to return ₹3.25 lakh to Nujaiba Jaleel.

The firm’s owner was reportedly untraceable, preventing her from recovering the money directly.
The legal dispute lasted seven months before the court partly allowed her petition.
Justice C. M. Poonacha ordered the bank to re-transfer the money within three days of receiving the order.
