Case Law Details
Pradeep Kumar Siddha Vs Union of India & Ors. (Bombay High Court)
HC held that We fail to understand, prima facie, as to how the authorities get this power to take away amount from anybody’s account without account holder’s permission or even after taking away the money, they would not even consider it necessary to inform the account-holder that money from their account has been debited. This is nothing but high handedness and gross abuse of power.
HC directed the department to deposit the entire amount of Rs. 62,32,400/- with the Registrar (Judicial-I) of this Court on or before 28.07.2022 failing which this court may issue contempt notice against them.
It is to be noted that earlier court directed department to unfreeze the account maintained by petitioner with Axis Bank. It is petitioner’s case that on 20.05.2022, respondents took away Rs. 62,32,400/- from its Axis Bank account and it has been transferred by the bank to respondents by way of RTGS.
