Sharma, learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. The petitioner is aggrieved by the action of the respondent bank in freezing the petitioner’s bank account bearing No. 201001042130 maintained with IndusInd Bank Limited, Paltan Bazar Branch, Guwahati, on the alleged fraudulent transaction of 1 Lakh rupees. 3. The Bank authority has filed an affidavit, which goes to show that the respondent bank received a freezing instruction on 08.01.2025 from the Cyber Police Portal, Citizen Financial Cyber Frauds Reporting and Management System (CFCFRMS) and it was reported as regards alleged transaction of credit of amount of Rs. 1 Lakh on 30.12.2024 in the account of the petitioner. By the said communication information as regards suspicious wallet details, merchant detail, mobile number linked with the suspect account were sought and instruction was issued to stop the transactions in the account. Accordingly, the bank, after exercising due caution, marked the account as ‘debit freeze’ to prevent withdrawal of potentially tainted funds. 4. It is also the contention of the Bank that additionally on 20.01.2025 and Page No.# 3/3 21.01.2025, the respondent Bank received two additional instructions from the Police Authorities of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and Police Authorities of Sahharanpur, Sadar Bazar, Uttar Pradesh concerning an amount of Rs. 1.00 Lakh and Rs. 30,000/- respectively. 5. In the aforesaid backdrop, on a pointed query and on instruction, the learned counsel for the respondent Bank submits that if keeping the aforesaid amount totaling Rs. 2,30,000/- as lien, the petitioner is allowed to operate the aforesaid bank account beyond such limit, the bank will have no objection subject to any further action that may be required in the event, further tainted money is deposited. 6. This is Court also of the opinion that ends of justice would be met, if the petitioner is allowed to operate his bank account subject to lien over an amount of Rs. 2,30,000/- with a liberty to the bank authorities to exercise similar power in the event further alleged tainted money is deposited inasmuch as this Court cannot decide in the present proceeding, whether the petitioner is involved with such fraudulent transaction. 7. Ordered accordingly. 8. This writ petition stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
