Preliminary Inquiry in Cyber Crime Complaints | Bank Freezes Lawful During Investigation of Invoice Fraud in Commercial Disputes : Chhattisgarh HC

The Chhattisgarh High Court has ruled that preliminary inquiry into cyber complaints alleging invoice manipulation and fund routing in commercial transactions cannot be prematurely quashed, and that bank account freezes initiated during such investigations are lawful. This sets a critical precedent for businesses facing digital fraud allegations, affirming investigative powers even before formal charges are filed.
