    Order

    Summary of Case 2/2026 Court's Decision: The High Court of Gujarat granted the criminal revision petition filed by Ishanbhai Balmukundbhai Shah, setting aside the lower court's order that had frozen Rs. 1,45,000 in a bank account under IPC Section 438. The court held that the police lacked legal authority to freeze these funds in a cybercrime case, as such detention powers are limited to specific criminal matters and do not extend to general offenses. The court ordered the release of the frozen amount along with custody of the seized funds to the petitioner, directing the police to submit compliance reports and the trial court to facilitate proper deposit handling procedures.
