Summary
In the legal matter of Neelesh Jangid vs. Kotak Mahindra Bank, the High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan at Jaipur adjudicated on S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 15741/2025. The petitioner, Neelesh Jangid, challenged the complete freezing of his bank account (No. 6711660953) following cyber crime investigations involving police stations in Bangalore (Karnataka), Mehsana (Gujarat), and Keonjhar (Odisha). The petitioner contended that he had no involvement in any illegal activities and that the total freeze was arbitrary.+4
Presiding Justice Ashutosh Kumar issued an order on November 11, 2025, directing the respondent bank to defreeze the account to allow the petitioner to resume normal transactions. However, the court mandated that a total disputed amount of Rs. 85,000/- (broken down as Rs. 80,000, Rs. 2,000, Rs. 2,000, and Rs. 1,000) remain frozen due to its alleged link to fraudulent transactions. The petitioner is required to cooperate with investigators and is prohibited from closing the account until permitted by the authorities.+4
