In today’s digital age, financial frauds—especially online frauds—have become increasingly common. Whether it’s an investment scam, crypto fraud, phishing attack, or unauthorized bank transaction, victims are often left confused about the legal steps to recover their lost money. If you’re in Noida and want to recover money lost due to online fraud, applying for a court order can be an effective legal remedy. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to proceed:
Step-by-Step Process to Apply for Court Order for Online Fraud in Noida:
1. Register a Cyber Crime Complaint
-
Where to File: You can file a complaint at your nearest Cyber Cell (e.g., Noida Sector 6 Police Station) or online at https://cybercrime.gov.in.
-
Documents Required:
-
FIR or Online Complaint ID
-
Victim’s ID proof (Aadhar, PAN)
-
Transaction screenshots and fraudster details
-
Bank account statement showing the fraudulent transaction
-
2. Consult a Cyber Crime Lawyer in Noida
-
A legal expert will analyze your case and help you prepare the necessary documents.
-
They’ll assist in drafting a legal notice, complaint, and court application.
-
If required, the lawyer can also help you approach the District Magistrate or Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) for specific orders like account hold or fund tracing.
3. Send a Legal Notice to the Fraudster (if identity is known)
-
A legal notice is sent to the accused demanding refund and warning of legal action.
-
In crypto or online investment frauds, the lawyer can also send the notice to the platform (exchange or app) where the transaction occurred.
4. File an Application Under Section 156(3) CrPC (If FIR is Not Registered)
-
If the police refuse to register an FIR, you can approach the Magistrate’s Court in Noida under Section 156(3) of the Criminal Procedure Code, requesting directions to the police to investigate.
5. File a Civil Suit or Recovery Petition (If Amount is Large)
-
If you want to recover the money and not just initiate criminal proceedings, a civil suit for recovery can be filed under the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC).
-
The lawyer will help you assess the jurisdiction, prepare a plaint, and file it in the appropriate District Court in Gautam Buddh Nagar (Noida).
6. Apply for a Temporary Injunction or Court Order
-
If the fraudster’s bank account or crypto wallet is identified, the lawyer can request the court to issue:
-
Freeze Orders on bank accounts or digital assets
-
Attachment Orders to prevent disposal of assets
-
-
This is crucial for stopping the transfer or hiding of fraudulently acquired money.
7. Follow-up and Execution
-
After obtaining the order, the cyber crime lawyer coordinates with:
-
Police or cyber cell
-
Bank nodal officers
-
Digital payment platforms (Razorpay, Paytm, etc.)

The court order is served and followed by a request for refund, reversal, or fund hold.
