Bride’s premature FD withdrawal request denied by Post Office; Odisha High Court rules in her favour

Wait 5 sec.

The Odisha High Court ruled in favor of a bride seeking premature withdrawal from her Post Office FDs for her marriage. Despite the Post Office's rejection citing Rule 8(d), the court recognized marriage as a necessary need under Hindu Law. It interpreted the rule leniently, allowing the withdrawal within two weeks for the imminent ceremony.
