The account was abruptly frozen on 19 August 2025, on the directions of Respondent 4, i.e. Cyber Cell Officer, Patna.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">A case of cheating was registered in Patna against an individual, who had purchased liquor worth &#8377;1000 from the petitioner, by making payment through UPI in the name of Sri Sai Wines. Due to this transaction, the petitioner&#8217;s account was frozen at the instance of Respondent 4 without notice and without following due process of law. At the time of freezing, an amount of &#8377;8,26,633 was lying in the petitioner&#8217;s account.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The said action of freezing the petitioner&#8217;s account, without notice and without any speaking order, was assailed in this writ petition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Analysis and Decision<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted the petitioner&#8217;s contentions that the action of freezing of account without notice and without following due process of law was contrary to law and in clear violation of principles of natural justice when there was no fault on the part of the petitioner, causing irreparable loss and hardship to petitioner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Regarding transactions in petty businesses, the Court observed that amounts are being transferred between vendors and vendees through PhonePe, Google Pay, etc. by using UPI. And if any individual purchases goods and pays through UPI using the above said applications, the vendor cannot verify the credentials of such individual.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court opined that without verifying the credentials of the petitioner and without noticing his involvement in any criminal case registered against the said individual, the authorities cannot freeze the petitioner&#8217;s account.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the Court held that the manner in which the petitioner&#8217;s account was frozen was unsustainable, contrary to law and illegal and issued directions to respondent Bank to unfreeze the petitioner&#8217;s account.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;
