of <h1>Court orders release of attached property in partial win for petitioner involving land at Alamur Village</h1> <h3>T Gowrinadha Reddy Versus Deputy Director</h3> T Gowrinadha Reddy Versus Deputy Director - TMI Issues involved:The issues involved in the judgment are the validity of the Provisional Attachment Order, show cause notice, and original complaint under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PML Act), and the alternative relief sought by the petitioner for the release of the attached property.Contentions Raised:The writ petition raised contentions that the Provisional Attachment Order, show cause notice, and original complaint lacked merit and were based on irrational analysis. It was argued that the petitioner received funds lawfully for civil works, and the orders did not meet the legal requirement of 'reason to believe' under the PML Act. The petitioner also claimed that the third-party rights in the attached property were not considered, and proper notices were not issued as per the Act.Arguments Presented:The petitioner sought the release of the attached property by offering a fixed deposit in substitution. The respondent argued that the PML Act provides remedies for challenging such orders, including appeals to higher authorities, and filing applications before the Adjudicating Authority. The respondent contended that the Provisional Attachment Order was legally sound and that the writ petition was not the appropriate remedy.Judgment and Decision:The Court allowed the writ petition in part, granting the alternative relief sought by the petitioner. The attached property, land at Sy.No.376/2, Alamur Village, Anantapur, was ordered to be released upon the petitioner furnishing a fixed deposit of Rs.10,00,000. The Court considered the joint ownership of the property and the interests of third-party purchasers, deeming the alternative relief just and reasonable. No costs were awarded, and pending miscellaneous petitions were closed with interim orders vacated.
