Dear Client, 

Freezing account is without due process. You should complain to RBI. Secondly partner already resigned from the firm,  hence no authority to operate account in firm's name. File cross objection in court that he has no locus standi to file suit to freeze account as he voluntarily without any dispute resigned from firm.

Also pray in cross objection to order de freeze of account. As you are most effected party. 

Pending suit the bank can freeze if the dispute revolves around the accounts.

Hi,

You are suggested to send a legal notice to the bank to de-freeze the account and if the same is not done by the bank manager, file the suit of specific relief in the district court. 

There is no specific section in the Partnership Act which states that single partner has absolute authority to freeze the bank account.

For the present you may have to concentrate in the court case only.

1) you need court orders to de freeze account 

2) file police complaint of cheating, criminal breach of trust against retired partner 

3) you have to contest false suit filed by retired partner 

4) draw attention of court that partner retired willingly and registrar of forms was intimated

2. You have to file a writ before high court seeking direction to bank to de freeze the account.

3. To his notice claiming funds you may issue a reply marriage making him liable for company's credit as well.

4. Lodge a criminal complaint with local police.

5. It need not be registered for initiating the above processes.
