MUMBAI:

In an order passed on March 26, the court observed that the mere issuance and clearance of cheques from the accounts was not sufficient reason to continue the freeze. The court also ordered the release of the savings bank account of Bhinde's business partner, Karan Pujara, noting that he had no connection to the alleged offence.
