Urgent help required for case under 420, 467, 471

Dear Sir,

I run an education Company which is into franchising. We are based at Chandigarh. Two days back I came to know that my Firm's current account has been blocked on the request of a Police officer in Maharashtra. I requested my bank to give a copy of the complaint, which they did. I came to know that there is a case against one of our franchises / associates in Maharashtra where he has given some advertisement in a local daily for recruiting people for training, charged them some money and then fleeced away. The Police Officer's letter to the bank says that a case under 420, 467, 471 has been registered.

What should I do?
How can I get to know what exactly is in the FIR?
Shall I apply for anticipatory bail? If yes, where?
How can I get my current account defreezed?
Is this a serious case?

Kind regards

R Sharma

Dear Friend,

Please send the FIR copy to me : sathishpm@yahoo.com. The FIR is a public document and can be obtained from the court by paying a specific fee. You can apply for it. Regarding the case registered by Police officerl, he has power to seize the account or freeze the account by issuing a Notice U/s. 102 Cr PC to the bank. But that is not permanant and can be lifted by issuing another letter by the Police Officer. Once you get the FIR we will be able to know whether you are arrayed as an accused in the FIR or not. Then I will be able to give a legal opinion. You can also approach the court where the FIR is registered and plea for lifting of the seizure of account.

yes this is a serious issue get a anticipatory bail if your name is added in fir so you will not be arrest, further to get a fir copy go to your jurisdiction court where the fir had registered, you have to file a Copy application in court and you will get a copy of FIR filed by police then it will be easy to continue a case from our side

Firstly obtain the copy of FIR and in case you are named in FIR, you should go for bail otherwise you can go to High Court for cancelling the freezing of your Accounts.
