The dominant issue was whether the auction purchase funded through a purported loan constituted a benami transaction under the 1988 Act. The Tribunal held that routing consideration through banking channels did not rebut benami character where neither the purchasers nor the lender had demonstrated creditworthiness, and the lender's capacity to advance the huge loan was unsupported by its turnover and partners' knowledge.
