2019 (12) TMI 809 - AT - Money LaunderingGrant of interim stay on provisional attachment order - de-freezing of bank accounts of appellant - applicant has confined his submission an order for release of amount deposited in Madhya Pradesh Gramin Bank subsequent to the passing of provisional attachment order - HELD THAT:- It is the uncontroverted fact that the appellant/applicant is maintaining the account bearing no. 2004101130000261 with Madhya Pradesh Gramin Bank, Shahpura Branch, Bhopal. It is the contention of the appellant/applicant that the Madhya Pradesh Govt. has transferred certain amount which is required for the purpose of payment to be made to the vendors and salary of the staff etc. and if the amount so deposited by the Madhya Pradesh Govt. is not released it is likely that the entire project shall be terminated. During the course of hearing, it is clearly submitted by the ld. Counsel for the respondent that the account in question has not been attached. The amount that has been attached to the tune of ₹ 5,53,401/- in six different banks accounts. The amount which is asked to be released by the appellant has not been attached or freezed under the PAO. This Tribunal has a limited jurisdiction of deciding legality and propriety of the impugned order, since the amount sought to be de-freezed are beyond the scope of the Provisional Attachment Order and the order of confirmation of the said PAO and is not with respect to the amount sought to be released so the question of passing an order for de-freezing the amount transferred by the Madhya Pradesh Govt. and being not part of PAO & Impugned Order is beyond the scope of present appeal, hence can’t be considered. The prayer in Ad-Interim relief application sought by the appellant/applicant is also rejected - Application disposed off.
