"i. Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of Mandamus directing the respondents to revoke the seizure from the bank accounts of the petitioners vide Account No. 59208445883705, HDFC Bank Ltd., Lajpat Nagar Branch Moradabad (current account for petitioner No.1) and Account No. 158445883705, Indusind Bank Ltd., Moradabad Branch (saving account for petitioner No.2) and permit transactions thereof, otherwise petitioner would suffer irreparable loss and injuries; ii. to issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of Mandamus commanding the respondent to block any such disputed amount only from the aforesaid two accounts if required by any prevailing law; iii. to issue any other writ, order or direction which this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper under the circumstances of the case; iv. to award the cost of Writ Petition to the petitioner."
3. This Court in identical matter i.e. Writ-C No.1542 of 2025 has passed an order on 08.04.2025, which is reproduced herein-below:-
"Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri O.P. Gupta, learned counsel for the Union of India and Sri Amrish Agrawal, learned counsel Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Sushil Kumar Tewari Counsel for Respondent(s) : Pranjal Mehrotra, Tanisha Jahangir Monir Luster Home Decor 2 Floor Hause And Another .....Petitioner(s) Hdfc Bank Ltd And 3 Others .....Respondent(s)
for the respondent Bank. Petitioner is aggrieved by action of the respondent bank in freezing his bank account.
Learned counsel for the respondent bank has placed before the Court a notice issued to the Bank under Section 91 Cr.P.C. by the Government of Telangana, as per which unauthorized transactions have been undertaken from the petitioner's bank account, which is reported by the criminal investigation wing. A criminal investigation has also been instituted under Section 420 IPC and other provisions of IPC. Details of such communication has been handed over to the counsel for the petitioner. Once the involvement of petitioner's bank account has surfaced in the criminal proceedings, remedy of the petitioner would be to approach the competent forum for release of his bank account. A writ petition would not lie for such purposes, at the first instance. Writ petition, accordingly, is consigned to records."
4. Accordingly, the present writ petition is also dismissed in terms of the
order dated 08.04.2025 passed in Writ-C No.1542 of 2025. October 6, 2025 Virendra WRIC No. 14611 of 2025 2 (Sudhanshu Chauhan,J.) (Saral Srivastava,J.)
