Provisional attachment under the PMLA was confirmed on the basis that cumulative material - statements under section 50(2) PMLA, searches, bank and property linkages and a disclosed modus operandi - established receipt and layering of proceeds of crime, with a statement under the Income Tax Act admitted only as corroboration. Objection that Regulation 3 language requirements were breached was rejected on factual findings that English translations and gists were furnished and witnesses understood Bengali.
