2014 (10) TMI 956 - AT - Money LaunderingAdmission of additional documents - pleas of the respondent not to take the documents on record and not to consider them - Held that:- Considering the documents it is apparent that there cannot be doubt about the genuineness of these documents. The plea of the respondent is that the documents are not relevant. However, this plea of the respondent cannot be accepted. The contention of the applicant is that the properties which have been attached had not been acquired from the proceeds of crime. In these circumstances, the copies of bank accounts and income-tax returns will be relevant and it cannot be inferred at this stage that the applicant has not been able to discharge his burden. The contents of the documents and whether they establish that the applicant did not have proceeds of crime can be inferred only after the documents are taken on record and considered in view of the pleas and contentions of the applicant. Therefore, the pleas of the respondent not to take the documents on record and not to consider them cannot be accepted. For the foregoing reasons the application is allowed and additional documents are taken on record subject to payment of ₹ 2,000/- as cost to the learned counsel for the respondent.
