Since the lien has been marked and the account has already been de-freezed, the petitioner can always operate his bank account. If, according to petitioner, he had no involvement with the offence in question and no lien could have been marked, he can always file an appropriate application before the concerned Magisterial Court, seized with the matter. 7. Viewed thus, this Court does not find any requirement of passing any further direction in the present writ petition. The petition stands disposed of in aforesaid terms. 8. Pending applications also stand disposed of. (MANOJ JAIN) JUDGE AUGUST 24, 2026/st/sk By:SONIA THAPLIYAL Signing Date:29.08.2026 12:39:03
