Subject: Request for Removal of Lien on Bank Account – Account Number: [Insert Account Number]

Respected Sir/Madam,

I, [Your Full Name], residing at [Your Complete Address], am writing to request the immediate removal of the lien imposed on my bank account held at [Bank Name]. This lien was enforced as part of an ongoing investigation into a cyber fraud case, where transactions allegedly linked to my account are under scrutiny.

  • Bank Name: [Bank Name]
  • Account Number: [Insert Account Number]
  • IFSC Code: [Insert IFSC Code]
  • Branch Name: [Insert Branch Name]

2. Reason for Lien:

The lien was imposed as part of the investigation into alleged fraudulent activities connected to my account. However, I would like to assert that I had no involvement in, nor knowledge of, any fraudulent transactions associated with my account.

3. Nature of Involvement:

I am a victim of an online scam, and my account was misused without my consent or knowledge. There was no malicious intent on my part, and I was not complicit in any fraudulent activities.

4. Complaint Information (if applicable):

  • Complaint Acknowledgment Number: [Insert Complaint Number]
  • Category of Complaint: [e.g., Online Financial Fraud]
  • Name of Complainant: [Insert Name of Complainant]
  • Incident Date: [Insert Date]
  • Police Station: [Insert Police Station Name and Address]

Grounds for Request

1. Absence of Fraudulent Intent or Knowledge:

I am a law-abiding citizen and assert that I was unaware of any fraudulent activities related to my account. The lien has been applied due to an unfortunate situation that was beyond my control.

2. Full Cooperation with Investigation:

I have provided all the requested documentation and details to the authorities and remain fully willing to cooperate further to help clear my name.

3. Financial Hardship:

The imposition of the lien has caused significant financial strain, affecting my ability to meet necessary expenses such as medical bills, utilities, and other essential needs.

4. Legal Precedents:

  • Madras High Court Judgment: Mohamad Safitulla v. State of Tamil Nadu – The court held that actions like imposing liens without adequate evidence violate principles of natural justice.
  • Delhi High Court Judgment: Pawan Kumar Rai v. State of Delhi – The court stated that punitive actions, such as freezing or imposing liens, must be supported by substantial evidence to avoid unjustly penalizing innocent individuals.

These judgments emphasize that such actions must be based on solid evidence, which is lacking in my case.

Request for Relief

1. Immediate Removal of the Lien:

I request that the lien placed on my account be lifted immediately as there is no concrete evidence linking me to any fraudulent activities.

2. Fair and Impartial Investigation:

I request a thorough and impartial investigation into the matter to clarify the facts and exonerate me from any wrongful allegations.
