FPA-PMLA-1421/DLI/2016 of M/s. Shamken International Ltd. v. The Deputy Director Directorate of Enforcement, Delhi
Case brief
What is this about?
Appellants challenged a Confirmation Order restricting documents seized during search under PMLA. Court held appeals infructuous as most properties were attached under a Provisional Attachment Order and relied upon in pending prosecution complaints. Seized items relied upon in criminal trial are retained; unattached items to be returned; copies of electronic evidence to be supplied.
What did the court decide?
ED to retain attached properties, supply copies of electronic data to appellants; return of unattached/unrelayed seized items to appellants within eight weeks.
