Riya Shankar Mishra v. the State of Karnataka
Case brief
What is this about?
Karnataka High Court, Bengaluru; M. Nagaprasanna J.; Article 226 writ (GM-RES); direction sought to de-freeze HDFC Bank account No. 50100578535240 (Kandivali Branch); alleged fraud of Rs.16,00,000/-; lien of Rs.30,000/- upheld as not contrary to law pending conclusion of crime and removal of money trail; petitioner unrepresented; petition disposed with liberty reserved; no de-freezing ordered.
What did the court decide?
Unless the alleged crime is taken to its logical conclusion and the money trail from the hands of the petitioner is removed, the lien of Rs. 30,000/- marked on the account is not an action contrary to law; accordingly the petition is disposed of, reserving all liberty to the petitioner to avail of remedies. ¶37
