The HC held that the provisional attachment effected by Ext.P2 under Section 281B has expired as the statutory six-month period lapsed without any extension, and accordingly Ext.P2 is no longer in force; the writ petition is disposed of declaring Ext.P2 invalid ab initio insofar as it continues to operate, and directing Respondents 3-5 to forthwith update land records to reflect the cessation of the attachment. The court relied on the respondents' admission that no order extending the attachment was passed and therefore granted the declaratory relief and ancillary directions to restore the property records.
