No interim relief for GS Oils’ Ajay Makhani

Justice Challa Kodanda Ram of the High Court on Monday dismissed a writ plea filed by Ajay Makhani of GS Oils to quash a lookout circular issued against him restraining him from travelling abroad.

He contended that he had to solemnise his daughter’s marriage in London and has already booked his return ticket for December 18. The court, denying the interim relief, held that as the petitioner had defrauded banks of hundreds of crores, he cannot be allowed to travel abroad. The court also said since his other family members were at liberty to travel abroad, the ceremony can be solemnised even in the petitioner’s absence. Justice Kodandaram said protecting the interests of the depositors and the banks would be of paramount importance.
