The High Court has directed Bangladesh Bank to ensure that four National Bank PLC customers can withdraw money from their savings accounts.
The order came after the customers filed a writ petition alleging that the bank refused to allow them to withdraw their deposits despite repeated requests.
The court also directed Bangladesh Bank to take necessary regulatory action based on their complaints and issued a rule seeking an explanation as to why the customers should not be allowed to withdraw their legally held funds.
The four customers had visited National Bank branches in Tangail’s Mirzapur and Mymensingh’s Bhaluka on September 17 to withdraw money by cheque, but bank officials allegedly refused without giving any valid or written reason.
