Suspension of a bank account's administrative fraud classification under the RBI framework does not restrain registration of an FIR, criminal investigation, or searches authorised by judicial warrants. The High Court's analysis states that allegations of diversion and siphoning of public funds disclosed cognizable economic offences, giving the investigation an independent statutory character despite overlap with the regulatory classification. Economic offences involving public institutions should not ordinarily be quashed merely because of settlement, and proposed accused persons cannot demand prior hearing before investigation. As no express restraint, patent lack of jurisdiction, mala fides, or abuse of process was shown, writ intervention to halt the investigation was declined; search-related factual disputes were left to criminal-law remedies.
