Odaily Planet Daily News: The Madras High Court in India ruled that the police cannot freeze entire bank accounts in fraud investigations, but can only freeze the amount in the bank account related to the fraud. The ruling came after a case in which an account was frozen due to a cryptocurrency investigation. Judge G. Jayachandran emphasized that freezing entire accounts deprives individuals of their livelihoods and financial stability. He pointed out that account holders often do not know why their accounts are frozen, and when they find out, their daily financial and business transactions have suffered significant losses. Judge Jayachandran also emphasized that although the law stipulates that the investigating agency should notify the account holder and the court when freezing the account, this requirement is often ignored. He cited Section 102 of the Criminal Procedure Code (now replaced by Section 106 of the Bharatiya Nagrik Surah Sahita Act), which requires timely reporting of such actions. (Bitcoin.com)
