2020 (7) TMI 787 - HC - Indian LawsProvisional attachment of properties - amounts lying in any of the accounts of the petitioner were actually the proceeds of the crime or not - petitioner was a minor when the monies came to be credited to his accounts especially - amounts were transferred to his accounts by his late father only - HELD THAT:- Taking note of the totality of facts and circumstances, especially the prevailing situation arising on account of Covid-19 pandemic all over the world, why should not a student – an Indian, be provided with some relief to tide over the difficult situation, when all the avenues available to him are stated to have been completely closed by the subject attachment orders, one wonders. Though, Mr.Mahajan, ld. CGSC submits that the petitioner would have the sufficient means otherwise for his subsistence and the education inasmuch as large amounts of funds had flown out of the country which are yet to be accounted for, the Court considers that such inferences are not required to be drawn in the present proceedings inasmuch as, Mr.Khurana presses the petition only for a limited purpose, keeping the rival pleas of the parties open for consideration by concerned authority/court. The writ petition and the pending application are disposed of with a direction to the respondent no.1 – Directorate of Enforcement to release a sum of ₹ 30 lacs to the petitioner from any of the amounts of the petitioner lying attached under the impugned attachment order or any other attachment order issued by it - Application disposed off.
