Section 151 CPC | Bank Account Freeze Must Be Proportionate to Disputed Amount in Cyber Fraud Cases : Telangana HC
Telangana High Court holds that banks can freeze only the disputed transaction amounts (Rs. 4,000 and Rs. 1,436) in cyber fraud cases, not entire accounts, reinforcing victim rights under Section 151 CPC. The ruling mandates proportionality, preventing undue financial hardship on account holders while balancing investigative needs.
