A.Dear
The timeline for refunding scammed money after a court order can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case, the jurisdiction, and the complexity of the legal process, or you can file a petition for execution in the court that issued the original order. This petition will request the court to enforce the order and compel the party to comply with the refund directive.

A.Dear Client,
Section 457 of the CrPC empowers a Magistrate to use their discretion to order the conditional release of the amount frozen under cyber scam. In this situation, the police seek a bond from the victim who needs to declare that he/she will pay 1. 5 times the refunded amount to the bank in case his/her claim is false or if other claims are made on the amount. Once this is done, the Magistrate executes an order to release the frozen amount to the applicant victim. So, file a petition under Section 457 CrPC in the jurisdictional court praying for an order for the release of frozen money and following the court's order, and on receipt of bond, the Investigating Officer of the Cyber Cell will follow up the matter with the banks and the amount is refunded to the accounts of the victims. If required, you may take the service of an Advocate for guidance and steps.
