Provisional attachment under the PMLA was upheld because the controlling requirement is material showing possession of proceeds of crime linked to a scheduled offence, and the provision is not limited to persons named in the predicate case. The Court accepted that reasons to believe may be based on circumstantial material, including financial patterns, seized documents and Section 50 statements, and held that the burden under Section 24 shifted once the attached property was shown to be involved in money laundering.

The challenge to the single-member coram was rejected.
