THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION NO.9782 OF 2009 ORDER: 1. The petitioner seeks a Mandamus questioning the action of the first respondent-Bank in not making payment of Rs.1,75,000/- to the petitioner from his S.B. Account bearing No.62033632044. The petitioner states that for the education of his son, he had deposited the amounts, but withdrawal thereof was not allowed and his cheque dated 30.04.2009 for withdrawal of the amount was declined under the impugned letter of the first respondent-Bank dated 30.04.2009 informing him that as per letter of ACB dated 17.04.2009, the above account of the petitioner is frozen till further instructions. Hence, inability to pay the amounts as per petitioner’s cheque was informed. 2. In paragraph 3 of the affidavit, the petitioner accepts that there is an ACB case registered against him and that he was remanded to judicial custody and later enlarged on bail and the case is still pending. 3. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel representing the second respondent-ACB, I am unable to appreciate the entitlement of the petitioner for withdrawal of the amounts in view of the petitioner’s Savings Account having frozen pending investigation by the ACB. The Mandamus sought for, therefore, cannot be granted. However, the petitioner shall have liberty to move the ACB Court for appropriate orders with regard to the withdrawal of any amounts from his Savings Account, if it is permissible under law. 4. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, dismissed. No costs. _______________________ (VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J) 18th November 2011 RRB
