‘Need ₹2.6 lakh out of ₹26.40 lakh deposited for treatment’
A septuagenarian knocked the doors of Telangana High Court seeking a direction for the release of at least ₹2.6 lakh out of the nearly ₹26.40 lakh he had deposited with AgriGold company for his day to day survival and medical expenditure.
Seventy-two-year-old Ravikanth Sinha, a retired private engineer, told the court that he lost his wife due to cancer as he could not provide proper medical care since all his hard-earned money and savings were stuck with AgriGold company.
In a writ petition, the senior citizen requested the court to instruct the Registrar-Judicial (with whom the proceeds of the sales of Agri-Gold assets were deposited) to release his money deposited with the company.
