AYAR ARJANBHAI MADEVBHAI vs BANK OF MAHARASHTRA — 487/2025

Case Summary The Chief Judicial Magistrate at Patan allowed the applicant's application under Section 503 of the BNSS, ordering the refund of Rs. 15,000/- that was fraudulently withdrawn from the applicant's SBI account in a cyber crime case and frozen in a suspect bank account. The court found that since no FIR was lodged, no arrests made, no other claimants emerged despite passage of time, and the investigating officer opined positively for refund, the applicant was entitled to the money. The refund is conditional on furnishing a personal bond and surety, with provisions for return if any legitimate claimant emerges.
