The dominant issue was whether the police could direct a bank to freeze a person's account during investigation without obtaining a competent court's order under the applicable criminal procedure provisions. The court held that mere police instructions to the bank were insufficient, particularly when no order under the relevant statutory provisions was produced and the investigating agency made no subsequent communication justifying the freeze.
