Bank Account Freeze | No Lien Without Suspicion of Cybercrime or Money Mule Activity | Kerala HC
The Kerala High Court ruled that banks cannot freeze accounts based solely on police requisition; lien must be restricted to the exact amount claimed and only imposed if there is specific suspicion of cybercrime or money mule activity. This protects innocent account holders from arbitrary financial disruption and reinforces due process under Article 300A and BNSS Section 106.
