2017 (8) TMI 669 - AT - Money LaunderingPrevention of Money Laundering -period of limitation - whether entire proceedings vitiated as the impugned order has not been passed within 180 days from the date of passing the provisional attachment order? - Held that:- It is undisputed fact that provisional attachment order was passed on 10th March, 2015. The case in earlier appeal filed by the same appellants was that the sufficient time was not granted to file the reply issuing the notice under section 8(1) of Prevention of Money Laundering Act and to defend the case, therefore, the impugned order in that appeal was not sustainable. It is not denied by the counsel for the appellants that the said order was not challenged and infact the appellants have denied the benefit of the said order. The said order was not challenged by the appellant in review petition. It is also not denied by the appellant that due process has not been followed in view of the direction issued on 11th August, 2015 and the confirmation order under appeal was passed on merits. Under these circumstances the objection of the learned counsel for the appellant on this issue is rejected and we are of the considered view that the appeal is to be heard on merits.
