Civil Writ Petition No. 20239/2025 Trendy Kapde Private Limited, Through Its Director Raju Khan And Having Its Registered Office At C-506, R Tech, Capital Galleriya, Plot No. 3, Panchyawala, Jaipur. ----Petitioner Versus 1. IndusInd Bank, Through Its Manager, Vidyut Nagar, Jaipur, Rajasthan. 2. Reserve Bank Of India, Through Its Executive Director, 18th Floor, Central Office Building, Shahid Bhagat Singh Road, Mumbai- 40001. ----Respondents For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Tapendra Sankhla For Respondent(s) : Ms. Neha Sharma HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MANEESH SHARMA Order 30/01/2026 1. The present writ petition has been filed with the following prayers: "It is therefore most respectfully prayed that this writ petition may kindly be allowed and by an appropriate writ, order or direction:- (i) The respondents may be directed to complete the investigation from the petitioner (if any) and allow the petitioner to operate his bank account on provisional basis without any interruption. (ii) The respondent No.1 bank may be directed to de-freeze the Current bank account No. 257742291519 and allow the petitioner to operate his account and use his own amount deposited in the bank. (iii) The respondents may be directed to pay compensation to the petitioner on account of the hardships being suffered by the petitioner due to non-operation of his bank account. (iv) Any other appropriate order which this Hon'ble Court deems fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case, may kindly be passed in favour of the petitioner." 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has never misused his bank account for the purpose of illegal [2026:RJ-JP:4400] (2 of 3) [CW-20239/2025] transactions and has not committed any cyber crime. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is ready and willing to cooperate with the Investigating Agencies and will appear before the Bank Authorities and the Investigating Agencies as and when called upon. He therefore prays that the disputed amount, which has been received in the petitioner's account, may be frozen, but that the amount other than the disputed amount may kindly be allowed to be withdrawn. He further prays that the petitioner may be allowed to operate his bank account for the transaction of money. 3. Per contra, learned counsel for the respondent-Bank submits that the bank account of the petitioner has been frozen in pursuance of the information received from National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal. Learned counsel for the respondent-Bank also submits that, as per information received, the disputed amount is around Rs.6,804.69/- and further submits that the petitioner may be directed not to discontinue the bank account until the investigation is completed or the criminal case is decided. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner agrees with the submissions made by learned counsel for the respondent-Bank. 5. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and in view of the submissions so made, this Court is of the considered view that merely because certain amount has been transferred to the petitioner's bank account in spite of the fact that the petitioner is not involved in fraudulent transaction/illegal activity/or a cyber crime, the act of freezing of the entire bank account and imposing complete restriction on transactions is seriously prejudiced to the rights of the petitioner, at the most the bank can keep lien on the [2026:RJ-JP:4400] (3 of 3) [CW-20239/2025] amount to the extent it relates to the receipt(s) of offense/disputed amount/amount credited. However, the respondent-Bank should allow the petitioner to operate their bank account over and above such amount in accordance with the law. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent-Bank to de-freeze the bank account No. 257742291519 with IndusInd Bank, of the petitioner, and he may be allowed to operate transactions in his bank account, while freezing only the amount of Rs.6,804.69/-, which is allegedly involved in the alleged fraudulent transaction. 6. It is made clear that the petitioner will co-operate with the Bank Authorities and the Investigating Agencies and will appear before them as and when required. It is also ordered that the petitioner shall not close or discontinue his bank account till the Investigating Agencies and Bank Authorities permit the petitioner to do so. It is further ordered that, after the investigation, if the petitioner is found to be involved in any illegal transaction, he shall be liable to pay the amount involved in the illegal transaction and will face the enquiry/investigation as per law. 7. All other pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of accordingly. (MANEESH SHARMA),J SOURAV/156
