Lahore: (RightNow) Lahore High Court has declared issuing a check from a frozen bank account as fraud. Justice Syed Farhad Ali Shah upheld the decision to file a case against the citizen.

The court affirmed the session court’s decision, rejecting the petition of citizen Shahbaz Nawaz. The session court had ordered to file a case against the citizen.

The decision states that issuing a check from a frozen account is fraud and not a routine financial dispute. This action is considered deceitful and punishable.

This decision holds legal significance in cases related to bank accounts and check issuance. The court has termed it an important legal precedent in financial transactions.

It is noteworthy that issuing a check from a frozen account results in non-payment, which legally falls under fraud.
