Supreme Court held that a bank deposit under a forfeiture ban is not a sufficient condition for granting free legal aid.

The Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's request for free legal aid, ruling that the existence of a bank deposit under a forfeiture ban does not automatically satisfy the financial eligibility criteria. The applicant argued that the frozen assets should exempt them from the means test, but the court found no statutory basis for this exception. Consequently, the court determined that the standard financial assessment must be applied regardless of the asset's status under the forfeiture ban.
