MUMBAI:

A single-judge bench of justice Manish Pitale passed the order on a suit filed by the BCCI for the recovery of three bank guarantee amounts executed by Nimbus in favour of the board, after the banks refused to make the payment.

The court directed Punjab National Bank and Union Bank of India to each pay 37.5% of the total amount, ₹386 crore, while Indian Bank was ordered to pay the remaining 25%. All three banks have also been ordered to pay ₹25 lakh each to BCCI towards litigation costs.
