This is a fraud committed by many such websites which are online and accepts accounts from the bank accounts and later dupe people. You need to file complaint to cyber cell and then follow up.
See betting is illegal in India and since no amount is legal no legal suit or case can be filed for the same.
Ask bank to give in writing as to why they have suspended your account
visit bank manager personally and find reasons for suspension of your account
1. serve them with a legal notice claiming your amount and to reactivate the account,
Betting is not legal in India
IF THE ONLINE BETTING IS LEGAL ENOUGH, THEN:
1. You can file a Police FIR, requesting investigation and charge-sheet, for offences like cheating, intimidation, fraud, breach of trust etc.... against the person, supported with all relevant supporting documents.
2. IF the Police does not take action, THEN you can file private criminal case u/s 156(3) Cr.P.C., in the local Magistrates court, seeking directions to the Police to investigate and file charge sheet. The said Person may come down for settlement.
Hi,
You are suggested to first serve a legal notice and if the things are not solved, file complaint with police.
File FIR
- Online betting is at some extent is illegal in India , but not entirely, and that is the reason Betting is online fund transfer or credit card payment.
- Hence, as per alw , you cannot punish and further you cannot complaint against the rule of the online betting game.
- Further, Law will not protect you if you are cheated by the provider of the game.
- Since, your payment was mainly via paytm mode, so you should ask them reason of suspension.
You should send inquiry to their customer care to get detail about suspension of account.
If they doesnt give any fair reason then you should lodge FIR against the betting site for fraud with cyber crime branch of police.
First of all ascertain that if this online betting is legal or not and if it is legally recognized then you may first issue a legal notice to the online betting website to their address.
If they dont comply with the demands made or there is no response then you may initiate further legal action for recovery.

Once the order has been passed by the SDM order to get stopped the construction, the police is duty bound to follow the same.
Police can't stop your work as the same is civil case and police don't have any power. You can complain to the higher authority of police or approach court for justice
You have to file intervenor application for being added as party to suit
2) file appeal against impugned order
3) no case is made out against police officers
4) no writ petition is maintainable
If there's a litigation pending along with an effective stay order for restraining the respondents from alienating or encumbering or any other activity in respect of the suit schedule property, then the order is binding on all the respondents participating in the case pertaining to the schedule of properties under the current legal dispute.
You can file a petition to vacate the stay order or permission to construct your portion of property which may not be under dispute before the same court.
No writ petition or police complaint is maintainable.
