Summary
In the legal matter of Sagar Dayma vs. Bank of Baroda, the High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan (Jaipur Bench) adjudicated S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 11476/2025. The petitioner, Sagar Dayma, challenged the complete freezing of his current account (No. 34608100000105) held at Bank of Baroda, Jaipur. The account had been restricted following a directive from the Cyber Police Station (East Region) in Mumbai, Maharashtra. The petitioner argued that the total freeze was arbitrary and illegal, as he had not committed any cybercrime.
Justice Sanjeet Purohit, in an order dated November 14, 2025, directed the respondent bank to de-freeze the account to allow the petitioner to continue his day-to-day financial transactions. However, the court mandated that the disputed amount (or any specific sum identified by investigators as linked to fraudulent activity) must remain frozen. The petitioner is required to cooperate with the investigating officer, appear before the agency as needed, and is prohibited from closing the account until the investigation is finalized.
