Summary
In the case of Lekha Ram Meena vs. State of Rajasthan, the High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan at Jaipur addressed a civil writ petition (No. 17598/2025) regarding a frozen bank account. The petitioner, Lekha Ram Meena, sought a Mandamus to compel Canara Bank to unfreeze his current account (No. 4860101002352), arguing that the freeze was arbitrary and hindered his daily financial transactions. The account had been linked to investigations by various Cyber Crime units across Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu.+4
Justice Sanjeet Purohit issued an order on November 18, 2025, directing Canara Bank to defreeze the account while maintaining a freeze specifically on the disputed amount of Rs. 12,200/- (or any other amount identified by investigators). The petitioner is permitted to operate the account for daily transactions provided he cooperates with the investigation and does not close the account until the probe is completed.+4
