I have lost money 13 lakhs in online fraud. Fir has been filed. Police has advised to file vakalath as some funds are freezed in party account. my lawyer has filed vakalath in court for amount of 4 l


A. Dear Client, Courts have permitted the de-freezing of bank accounts on the condition that the party execute a bond for the relevant amount before the Magistrate and produce such amount if so directed. Section 457 of the CrPC empowers the Magistrate to deliver seized property to the rightful owner. Even for the de-freezing of a bank account, an application under Section 457 of the CrPC is acceptable. You must file another vakalath for another account that requires de-freezing.
