Hon'ble Donadi Ramesh,J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri O.P. Gupta, learned counsel for the Union of India and Sri Amrish Agrawal, learned counsel 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.
