The said permissions are subject to maintaining the balance which stood in the accounts as on the date of agency's search in a money laundering probe, Justice Yashwant Varma said.

The entities have been asked to provide details about remittances made from the frozen bank accounts after every 48 hours.

The court left it up to the probe agency to verify that balances are maintained as they stood on the date of search.

In July, the high court had asked the handset maker to deposit a bank guarantee of Rs 950 crore with the ED to allow it to operate the bank accounts frozen by the agency in connection with a money laundering probe.

During the hearing on Monday, the 14 entities challenged the debit freeze orders passed by the ED which has claimed that these companies are the agents of Vivo.

The entities' counsel claimed they are not at all related to Vivo and they only purchase goods from the company and sell it further.

The anti-money laundering agency's counsel argued that the material of search will show that transactions between these entities and Vivo that the money quantified as the proceeds of crime is Rs 38,641 crore.

A total of 27 entities are allegedly involved with Vivo in the matter and out of them, 14 approached the court to un-freeze bank accounts.
