Himachal Pradesh High Court Advises Caution in Freezing Salary Bank Accounts
The Himachal Pradesh High Court ruled that investigating agencies must exercise care and compassion when freezing bank accounts, especially salary accounts vital for livelihood. In a case involving a government employee whose salary account was fully frozen over a disputed Rs 21,000 credited from a gaming app, the court directed the bank to lift the complete freeze while maintaining a lien on the disputed amount. The court emphasized issuing a show-cause notice before such freezes to protect individuals' rights to earn and meet essential expenses.
