The instant Criminal Revision was filed challenging the legality, propriety and correctness of this order by Special Judge (Prevention of Corruption Act), Raipur, by dismissing the prayer of the applicant to defreeze the bank account, which has been seized by the respondent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Counsel for the petitioners <strong>Mr Kishore Bhaduri and Sunny Agrawal<\/strong> submitted that the prohibitory order of the respondent regarding operation of the bank account is uncalled for in the present situation, hence, it is prayed that the revision petition may be allowed and the impugned order may be set aside and relief be granted to the applicant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Counsel for the respondent <strong>Mr Adil Minhaj<\/strong> submitted that the amount in the bank accounts can be regarded as property under seizure has been acquired unlawfully, cannot be allowed to be disbursed or disposed when the charge sheet has been filed and the prosecution has not come to an end.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court relied on judgment <em>State of Maharashtra v.

We are, therefore, persuaded to take the view that the bank account of the accused or any of his relation is `property&#8217; within the meaning of Section 102 of the Criminal Procedure Code and a police officer in course of investigation can seize or prohibit the operation of the said account if such assets have direct links with the commission of the offence for which the police officer is investigating into.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court observed that the money in the bank account may be regarded as a property and the seizure of such property on suspicion that it is connected with commission of offence held as property within the meaning of Section 102 of Criminal Procedure Code i.e. Cr.PC and the police officer also has power to prohibit the operation of such account, if such assets have linkages with the commission of offence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court thus held that there is a clear conclusion of the Investigation Agency against the applicant that he has amassed wealth, acquired assets, which are disproportionate to his income \u201c\u2026<em>and the prosecution against the applicant is under contemplation by the respondent side, therefore, no order can be passed to defreeze the bank accounts, which have been seized from this applicant<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In view of the above, the instant petition was dismissed and disposed off.[Ramesh Kumar Sharma v.
