Allahabad HC orders banks to freeze only disputed amount in cybercrime cases

Banks are directed to unfreeze accounts beyond the disputed transaction sum, and investigators are now required to furnish specific details when seeking a lien. This ensures that enforcement actions remain just and within legal frameworks.
