THE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA vs AVINASH

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Bombay High Court's order allowing the de-freezing of bank accounts under Section 102 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Court emphasized that the attachment of bank accounts is a serious matter and should be justified by the prosecution. It held that the respondent's undertaking to deposit amounts as part of bail conditions was sufficient to warrant the de-freezing of accounts, thereby balancing the rights of the accused with the interests of justice. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the High Court's decision.
