As far as the serial number 1, 2, 5 and 6 are concerned, the counsel for the appellant submits that the amounts have already been attached and withdrawn and are in the possession of the respondent. His client only wishes to operate the accounts.
With regard to the details of the accounts mentioned in serial-3 & 4 the amount have not been withdrawn by the respondent and his client at this stage is not pressing for operates of the said accounts. In view of averments made in the application, we are of view that the said request is reasonable. Since the reply has not been filed by the respondent and even the main counsel on record is not available, in these circumstances, let the instruction be taken by the learned counsel of the respondent.
List the application for disposal on 11th May, 2017.
FPA-PMLA-1510/KOL/2016
