The petitioner is the licensed wine trader. The SBI account of the petitioner was suddenly freezed by the respondent no.3 on the ground that one individual purchased liquor of Rs.1000/- through UPI payment. He was involved in a cheating case

if any individual purchases goods and pays through UPI using the above said applications, the vendor cannot verify the credentials of such individual. Without verifying the credentials of the petitioner and without noticing his involvement in any criminal case registered against the said individual, the authorities cannot freeze the petitioner’s account. The manner in which the petitioner account has been freezed is unsustainable and contrary to law.
