Tapas D. Neogy (1999) affirmed that bank accounts are &#8220;property&#8221; liable for seizure, it also established that this power is not absolute. It must be balanced against constitutional rights and strict procedural adherence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Earlier Provision<\/th><th>Current Provision<\/th><th>Key Principle<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Section 102, CrPC<\/td><td>Section 106, BNSS, 2023<\/td><td>Bank accounts are &#8220;property&#8221; liable for seizure, but power is not absolute<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"key-safeguards-and-judicial-mandates\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Safeguards_And_Judicial_Mandates\"><\/span>Key Safeguards And Judicial Mandates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prevent the misuse of Section 106, constitutional courts have emphasized several critical checks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mandatory Reporting:<\/strong> As established in T. Subbulakshmi v. Commissioner of Police (2013), freezing an account without informing the jurisdictional Magistrate is illegal. This reporting is a mandatory safeguard, not a discretionary choice for the police.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Property Nexus:<\/strong> There must be a direct link between the account and the alleged offense. Freezing an entire account for a small suspicious transaction is often viewed as disproportionate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Judicial Supervision:<\/strong> The Magistrate is not a silent spectator. They possess the inherent authority to scrutinize the legality of a freeze and, where procedural flaws exist, order defreezing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"preserving-the-rule-of-law\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preserving_The_Rule_Of_Law\"><\/span>Preserving The Rule Of Law<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, Section 106 BNSS must be interpreted as a shield against arbitrary state action rather than a sword for procedural harassment. Recognizing the Magistrate&#8217;s jurisdiction to intervene is not an expansion of judicial power, but a faithful application of statutory safeguards. Fairness dictates that an innocent person&#8217;s right to their property should not be a casualty of investigative complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"summary-application-of-section-106-bnss\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary_Application_Of_Section_106_BNSS\"><\/span>Summary: Application Of Section 106 BNSS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shift to BNSS does not grant police a blank check. Section 106 must be applied with surgical precision and prompt judicial accountability to ensure the hunt for cybercriminals does not result in the financial paralysis of innocent citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Award-Winning Article Written By: Adv.Hinesh Rathod<br><\/strong>Advocate | Active in Politics |Human Rights Activist | Social Worker |<br>Ph no: 8652544618, Email id hineshrathod96@gmail.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.legalserviceindia.com\/images\/ae-1.png\" alt=\"Certificate of Excellence awarded by Legal Service India\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authentication No: MAR606666061299-08-0326<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rise Of Cybercrime And Indiscriminate Bank Account Freezing The surge in cybercrime has led to a parallel rise in a troubling trend: the indiscriminate freezing of bank accounts.
