Pune court upholds order to pay mango supplier's heirs ₹3.79 lakh in 1999 case

A Pune district court dismissed a nationalised bank's appeal, confirming a 2013 decree holding it jointly liable with Ambrosia Agro Industries to pay ₹3.79 lakh plus 8% interest to heirs of Alphonso mango supplier Shafi Hassan Nadkar. The dues stemmed from a 1999 deal involving 61,403 kg of mangoes worth ₹8.13 lakh, ending a 27-year legal battle.
