Provisional attachment under the PMLA was upheld because investigative material furnished a reason to believe that the appellant participated in converting demonetized currency into gold/bullion, establishing a proximate link between seized currency and proceeds of crime; absence of the appellant's name in the FIR/ECIR did not bar attachment since PMLA proceedings depend on independent investigative material and statements recorded during the probe; attachment may extend to equivalent value of proceeds even where property was acquired earlier, and the prima facie case met the statutory threshold for sustaining provisional attachment.
