JUDGMENT

The petitioner had approached this Court aggrieved by freezing of his account maintained with the 1^st respondent bank. Freezing was imposed on the basis of requisition received with the 3^rd respondent. The learned Government Pleader on instruction submitted that the crime registered by the 3^rd respondent, Crime No.17/2023 was quashed by this Court by order in Crl.M.C.No.6455 of 2024 dated 18.12.2024. Since, the case registered by the 3^rd respondent has been quashed, there is no need to retain the freezing or lien on the petitioner’s account. Therefore, the bank is directed to lift the lien/freezing on the petitioner’s account forthwith.

This writ petition is disposed of with the above direction.
