Judgment :-

1. This Criminal Petition has been filed aggrieved by the order passed by the learned Metropolitan Sessions Judge at Hyderabad in Crl.M.P.No.3827 of 2025 in Cr.No.105 of 2024 of PS CCS DD, EOW, Team-IX, Hyderabad dated 18.11.2025, wherein the application filed by the petitioner seeking defreezing her bank account bearing No.1273104000059981 of IDBI Bank, Chintal branch was dismissed.

2. Heard Mr. S.Ram Reddy, learned counsel, learned counsel for the petitioner, Mr. M.Shiva Shekar, learned counsel for respondent No.2 and Mr. Jithender Rao Veeramalla, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for respondent No.1.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was arrayed as accused No.3 in C.C.No.3 of 2024. Even according to the final report, the entire allegations are levelled against accused Nos.1 and 2. The only allegation is that accused No.3 transferred some amount into the account of the petitioner and the petitioner’s account was also seized. The amounts which are lying in her bank account are not arising out of her crime proceedings. He further submitted that petitioner has received the amount from State of Telangana under the Rythu Bandu Scheme whereby an amount of Rs.48,000/- was credited in two spells i.e., on 18.06.2025 and 24.03.2025 and the said amounts are very much required for the agricultural operations. By virtue of the freezing of the bank account, the petitioner is unable to withdraw the said amounts. The learned trial Court, without properly considering the contentions of the petitioner, dismissed the application filed by the petitioner.

4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent No.2 submits that there are specific allegations levelled against accused Nos.1 to 3 that they have collected huge amounts of Rs.7,68,50,000/- from LW’sS1 to 17 and therefore, the trial Court has rightly dismissed the application. However, learned counsel fairly submits that insofar as the amounts which was remitted by the State Government under the Rythu Bandhu Scheme is concerned, respondent No.2 is not having any objection to petitioner withdrawing the said amount.

5. Having considered the rival submissions made by the respective parties and upon perusal of the material available on record, it reveals that the petitioner is involved as accused in Crime No.105 of 2024. The limited request made by the petitioner is to permit withdrawal of the amount of Rs.48,000/-, which was credited to her account under the Rythu Bandhu Scheme, is very much required for agricultural operations.

6. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case and submissions made by respective parties, the impugned order dated 18.11.2025, passed by learned trial Court, is set aside and the petitioner is permitted to withdraw an amount of Rs.48,000/- which was remitted by the State Government of Telangana under Rythu Bandhu Scheme and the concerned Investigating Officer of PS CCS, DD, EOW, Team-IX, Hyderabad is directed to issue necessary information to the concerned Bank to defreeze the petitioner’s bank account only for the limited purpose of withdrawal of amount of Rs.48,000/-, which was deposited under the Rythu Bandhu Scheme. The petitioner is also entitled to withdraw the amounts which are going to be deposited by the State Government under the Rythu Bandhu Scheme.

Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of.

Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed.
