banks and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) over ‘old’ cases of ‘fraud’. The central agency, it is understood, is insisting on what could be a retrospective application of last year’s Supreme Court (SC) ruling that a borrower must be given a hearing before the account is classified as ‘fraud’ and a “reasoned order” must follow if such an action is taken. However, in several old cases where the accounts were tagged as ‘fraud’ well before the SC ruling, CBI has asked banks whether the borrowers were granted the opportunity to explain their position, a senior industry person told ET. Bankers are unwilling to go back to these past matters. “We believe banks are not required to do this as the decisions to categorise the accounts (as fraud) were taken before March 2023 (when the apex court spelt out its stand). Banks are of the view that the ruling is not applicable to old matters. But the agency has referred quite a few old cases back to banks, asking them if borrowers were accorded a hearing,” said another person.

rare variant of the giant panda, known not for the conventional black-and-white but for an unusual brown-and-white fur, inhabits just a single mountain range in China. This unique trait, previously shrouded in mystery, has been potentially unraveled by recent scientific research. This research involved the genetic analysis of numerous pandas both in the wild and in captivity, revealing that the rare brown-and-white coloration is likely due to natural genetic variation rather than the result of inbreeding, as was once speculated, a CNN report said. Dandan, the first brown panda identified in 1985 in the Qinling Mountains of Shaanxi province, sparked curiosity and subsequent sightings have been recorded, totaling eleven over the years. These sightings have led researchers to believe that the brown coloration could be inheritable, though its genetic basis remained elusive until now.
