HC upheld the order declaring the petitioners as 'Benamidars' and seized cash as 'benami property'. The court found no violation of natural justice, noting the petitioners failed to respond to notices or appear before authorities to challenge the classification. The bench determined the Adjudicating Authority remains the appropriate forum to definitively determine the benami status of the property. Consequently, the court declined to interfere with the impugned order, directing petitioners to pursue remedies before the designated adjudicatory mechanism.
