The petitioner is aggrieved by the sudden freeze imposed

on his account maintained with the respondent Bank. The freeze is

imposed on noticing certain transactions which do not match the

petitioner's account profile.

2. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the

petitioner is willing to provide his KYC details and offer explanation

regarding the alleged suspicious transactions.

3. I heard the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent

Bank also.

In view of the submissions made on behalf of the

petitioner, the writ petition is disposed of, permitting the petitioner

to provide his KYC details and offer explanation regarding the

suspicious transaction, and directing the Bank to consider the

explanation, and if satisfied, lift the freeze imposed on the

petitioner's account immediately.
