Restoration of confiscated property during trial under the second proviso to Section 8(8) of the PMLA is controlled by Rule 3A of the 2016 Rules, as amended, which permits consideration only after framing of charge under Section 4.

Applying these principles, the restoration order was held contrary to the statutory scheme and was set aside.
