Discovering that your bank account has been frozen can be an alarming experience. At CyberWakil, led by Adv. Panchanand Shaw, we specialise in helping individuals and businesses navigate the complex legal landscape of bank account freezes across India. Our expertise spans all cyber cells and investigative agencies, ensuring comprehensive legal representation.
Section 120B IPC deals with punishment for criminal conspiracy. When a bank account is frozen under conspiracy allegations, it typically involves claims that the account holder was part of a larger conspiracy to commit fraud or cheating.
The prosecution must prove that two or more persons agreed to do an illegal act. Mere suspicion or association is not enough. Courts have held that some overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy must be proved.
Account holders falsely implicated in conspiracy cases have strong grounds for challenging both the charge and the consequent bank freeze. The defence focuses on demonstrating absence of any agreement or common intention.
Challenge the conspiracy charge by showing there was no meeting of minds between the account holder and other accused. Each co-accused must be shown to have independently acted.
File a bail application and Section 457 CrPC petition simultaneously. The court may release the account upon furnishing a surety if there is no evidence of the account holder's involvement in the conspiracy.
Document all communications and transactions to establish independent business dealings unrelated to the alleged conspiracy.
The key distinction in Section 120B cases is whether the account holder had knowledge of and participation in the common criminal design. Independent business transactions cannot be retroactively labeled as conspiracy.
Maintain records of all business meetings, contracts, and communications that demonstrate independent decision-making and absence of any criminal agreement.
Legal representation by a lawyer experienced in criminal conspiracy cases is essential as these cases often involve complex facts and multiple accused persons.
