Banking Law & Offences Trial Court & Lahore High Court Full Acquittal of Bank Staff

Trial Court Acquittal of Bank Staff in £50,679 Export Proceeds Dispute

Key Statute / Law: Pakistan Penal Code (Sections 420, 468, 471, 409/109)
Case & Context

An account holder at Meezan Bank Limited, Civil Lines Branch, Faisalabad authorized his Export Manager to operate his bank account. When the manager allegedly withdrew Rs. 10,700,000 without consent, the account holder registered an FIR against the manager and five bank employees under PPC 420, 468, 471, and 409/109. We represented the defence for the bank staff.

Legal Strategy & Proceedings

Pre-arrest bail petitions were confirmed through the High Court after trial court dismissal. During trial cross-examination, both the complainant and the Investigating Officer admitted that under the third-party mandate, the account holder was legally bound by his mandatee's acts, no forensic evidence implicated the bank staff, no financial benefit accrued to them, and no direct evidence showed abetment.

Outcome & Decision

The trial court completely acquitted all bank staff while convicting the mandatee.
