PMLA adjudication permits a single-member Adjudicating Authority constituted by its Chairperson to include a non-judicial member, because attachment scrutiny does not transfer High Court functions and appellate review remains available. Provisional attachment requires recorded reasons to believe that non-attachment may frustrate proceedings; factual challenges to that satisfaction lie through the statutory appellate process. The Adjudicating Authority must independently record reasons to believe that a person possesses proceeds of crime before issuing notice. Properties acquired before the scheduled offence may also be attached in proceeds-of-crime proceedings. Challenges to the single-member order, attachment reasons, independent satisfaction and pre-offence property attachment were rejected in writ jurisdiction.
