Purposive interpretation of residential house exemption: unregistered purchase agreement alone does not defeat relief, but investment must be verified...
A non-bailable warrant under the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act remains a jurisdictional prerequisite where it has been issued to secure the accused's production before the Indian court; foreign arrest and bail do not exhaust the warrant if the person is still abroad and resisting return. The Court also held that the statutory monetary threshold for a scheduled offence must be crossed before proceedings under the Act can be sustained, and that the final assessment order quantifying undisclosed foreign income and assets well above that threshold validated the prima facie material. It further held that prosecution for wilful attempt to evade tax under the Black Money Act can proceed alongside assessment, and upheld the declaration of fugitive economic offender.
