HON'BLE JUSTICE KRISHNA RAO

The Calcutta High Court directed IndusInd Bank to defreeze petitioner Subhro Paul's account, which was frozen on March 4, 2026 based on police instruction without a magistrate's order. The court found that under BNSS Section 107, police must obtain a magistrate's order for account attachment/freezing, not act unilaterally, and since no such court order was produced, the freeze was unlawful. The bank was ordered to allow account operation while retaining Rs. 1,10,011 in lien pending investigation. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
