Provisional attachment of the property was confirmed under the PBPT Act as the transaction falls within the scope of benami property under Section 2(9)(A); the appellant failed to explain sources of funds, did not produce original lease evidence and adverse inference was drawn for non-production, supporting IO findings of fabrication.
