Learned counsel for the appellants for Shri P. Senthil Kumar & Anr. & Shri K. Murugesan stated that no property of Shri P. Senthil Kumar has been attached although he has been made a party in the whole case. With regard to the second appellant in the second appeal i.e. Shri K. Murugesan, he jointly owned one property alongwith Mr. C. Paneer Mohamed appellant in FPA-PMLA-2350/CHN/2018, but he was neither issued any show cause notice nor any summons were issued to him, before the PAO was passed. But he fairly accepted that before the Adjudicating Authority, he was called wherein Mr. Murugesan pointed out this fact. However, the Adjudicating Authority has not dealt with that.
