Benami transaction challenge to a Provisional Attachment Order: the definition of a benami transaction under Section 2(9)(A) of the 1988 Act applies where property remained in the name of benamidars on and after the 2016 amendment, so the amendment's prospective character does not defeat attachment.

Consequently the tribunal found the statutory ingredients satisfied and dismissed the appeals.
