Under the PBPT Act, attachment can continue only against benami property held by a benamidar or beneficial owner; property cannot be attached merely because its owner is treated as an abettor unless the property itself is found to be benami. The Tribunal noted that the appellant had been proceeded against as beneficial owner initially, but the adjudication position shifted to Smt.
