AT upheld the provisional attachment of properties held by the appellant and family as "equivalent value" of proceeds of crime under Sections 5 and 2(1)(u) PMLA, and dismissed the appeal. It found overwhelming evidence that the appellant fraudulently obtained foreign exchange by submitting forged documents to banks and remitted it abroad under the guise of software imports that never occurred.
